Christmas Day

This was my favorite Christmas Day I can remember. I loved it. I loved that Christmas was on Sunday. The kids woke up around 7 or 7:30 (I was up before them—typical me though, I always was the first one up in my family growing up). We went and looked at stockings, then had a nice breakfast, then went to church.
I LOVED having church on Christmas. We had some songs, a couple brief talks, then more songs. I wish Christmas was on Sunday every year!

I can see the question in your mind—which present was the favorite? It was the $1 Walmart flashlight each got in their stocking. (Austin)

After church, we came home and opened a couple more. This is Austin playing with his lego tractor. 156

Christmas was so great. I am so grateful for that time of the year to reflect on the Savior, his life, and his Atonement for us. I loved teaching the kids about it and I love the constant reminders all around!
