Christmas '09

We had a wonderful Christmas. We did get very homesick and were missing family on Christmas Eve, since that is the main day that my parents and siblings would get together and have our family traditions. We had friends over instead and it was very special to be starting our first traditions here on our own. The kids loved their gifts and were happy about just staying home in jammies and playing with their new toys without having to leave them. They didn't even want to go to the beach. We were so thankful for the beautiful day to celebrate our Savior's birth and life, to celebrate with our beloved children. It was such a great day. We are so blessed.

Looks like you had a great Christmas! It is fun to start your own family traditions, but yet hard to be away from family bitter sweet I guess! I learned to knit while we lived in Missouri it is a lot of fun, you are doing a great job!! Love the aprons so much fun, can't wait to see what more you make!!
