Christmas

This was such a great Christmas. With all of the snow we got it felt like a country Christmas. One of my favorite parts of Christmas is Sacrament Meeting the Sunday before Christmas. I love listening to all of the wonderful talks and reminders of our Saviors humble birth. I love all of the beautiful Christmas music and the fact that everyone seems to be wearing Christmas colors to Church. The Primary kids are so excited to act out the Nativity and the teachers don’t seem to mind the extra excitement the kids have on this Special Sunday. I am grateful to have such a wonderful family to spend the holidays with. I love each and everyone of them so very much. I spent Christmas Eve baking everyone’s favorite treats for the family Christmas Party’s. We had a great time Christmas Eve at Jairo’s parent’s house where the kids got spoiled. Then my two year old niece Maya came home with us to sleep over. The kids woke up at about 8:00am ready to check out their delights from Santa. I thought they might be getting coal, but somehow they slid under the radar on the naughty list. We had a great morning opening gifts and eating a yummy Christmas breakfast. The girls were having so much fun with their new Barbies and American girl doll pets they decided to take pictures of them, it was so funny. I had to confiscate the camera before they decided to photograph all of there new Polly Pockets and other toys. Afterwards Jairo took Maya back the Elizondo’s and we went over to my parents house for a great day of visiting, playing games, exchanging gifts, a delicious prime rib dinner and the boys even had some fun in the snow with Bryan’s Jeep and Dad’s FJ Cruiser. My parents got the whole family a trip to Disneyland. We all go to Disney almost every year, but this will be the first time we all get to go together. We are so excited! I am so grateful for all of the time I had to spend with my family and look forward to a happy New Year!
