The Gift of Love

Christmas morning was truly a memorable one! This year we have a new family member, Golden Goodman and I should also include their dog, Dolce. It was so wonderful to have them with us! They spent the night on Christmas Eve. Wade and I woke to giggling in the other room pretending to be looking at all the presents, "Yes, I got a life saver story book in my stocking!" I new better, but figured it was time to get up! They were all waiting in Laurisa's room for Wade and I to wake up! We started with the traditional singing of Jingle Bells and all wrote our gift to the Savior this year! My favorite part of it all... was feeling the LOVE that each family member has for each other! The excitement they felt as they could hardly wait for them to open the gift they gave them! I love that they are always more excited to give than to recieve! We had our traditional Christmas morning breakfast with our family along with Great Nana, Nana and Paul, Tom, Holly, and Waylan. After, we played games, snowboarded on the Wii, watched Dolce play with Paco and Roxy, watched videos of past Christmas', watched Christmas movies and listened to Mitch play on his new keyboard for 7 hours straight, hmmmm....I wonder if he liked his gift?!!!
