First let me apologize that there are no pictures to go along with this post. That said, it was a wonderful, relaxing Christmas at our house this year. A bit lacking without Heather and Clint here but we did get to Skype with them!
Steve and I didn't do much for each other this year- we mostly concentrated on Getting everything Austin needs for his mission. Probably not the funnest Christmas for Austin since almost everything he opened was for his mission but he was a good sport about it and even acted like getting sheets for Christmas was awesome!
We opened presents, then went to a wonderful sacrament meeting full of music. There was such a powerful spirit there. What a wonderful way to begin Christmas Day!
Kyle, Han and Jane came around noon and we opened more presents while Skyping with Heather and Clint.
Steve's parents and brother joined us for Christmas dinner.
Jane loved playing with her new toys- she kept us all pretty entertained. What a cutie she is!
The best part of any Holiday is being able to celebrate it with family!
And now, life is about to change greatly for us as Austin leaves in 3 weeks for his mission!
Had to get a picture of Austin with this guy though. Jordan and Austin have been best friends for a few years now. Jordan leaves in May for a mission to Brazil.
Austin with Mom and Dad- now officially empty nesters. I think it's funny that he already had his backpack on- ready to go!
Squishes are the best!
See what I mean? Just brings a smile to your face! Austin loves his sister!
More squishes! Can't ever have too many.
Kyle can stand as tall as he wants but Austin will always be taller. These guys have had some fun times lately playing Xbox games til all hours of the night. My handsome boys!
It will be fun to see before and after pictures of these two together. Jane will be the one who changes the most. Uncle Austin will have to win her over all over again.
May the Lord keep you and watch over you until we meet again!
