We had such a wonderful Christmas this year. With so many things to be thankful for, it was hard to not have a great time. We were able to spend a few family days together making Christmas cookies, visiting Santa, and checking out the presents under the tree to try to guess what they were. Claire was so excited about the holiday this year. I think she is really beginning to understand the meaning of Christmas which warms my heart! We had a blast with our naughty elf this year too! Christmas Eve was spent making a birthday cake for Jesus, going to church, spreading food on the lawn for Santa's reindeer, and opening presents from Mom and Dad. Christmas morning we woke early to have cinnamon rolls while we read Luke 2 from the Bible. Then Claire got to open her presents from Santa and we loaded up the van for our weekend trip to Frisco, TX. On our way we got to stop in Grapevine to visit with Jeff's cousin Jon, his wife Barbara, and their 8 month old son Hudson. Claire had a blast playing with Hudson! Then we continued on to Frisco to spend the weekend at my cousin's house. We got to be with Grandma Rachel, Roxi, Roger, Jill and Jim and their kids, and Todd. It was a very fun weekend with lots of laughter and excitement. On Sunday we headed back to our house with Grandma! We are so excited to have Grandma Rachel come to stay with us for a month! Claire is attached to her at the hip I think! When we got home, we opened the last of the presents and have been playing ever since! So very thankful for a wonderful Christmas!
