What a wonderful Christmas celebration we had, celebrating the birth of our Savior with family. We enjoyed a relaxed Christmas morning (waiting for the arrival of Dave, Alice and baby Kiplan). Carson helped me make Christmas breakfast, made a gingerbread house with Nana and waited very patiently to open gifts! The rest of our time was SO relaxing! We played with new toys, ate a wonderful dinner, talked a ton, played the Wii the following day and just enjoyed one another's company.

One VERY special Christmas surprise was the purchase of a new car!! Jon and I have been planning to get a second car soon (we have had one car for over a year now) and Jon has been researching a ton -trying to find a good deal. Jon called on Christmas Eve to say that a dealership was offering a great deal and that we needed to go look at it. We ended up driving the car home with us that night! What an unexpected surprise for me...I LOVE the new van. How undeserving I am this Christmas in so many ways!!!!
