Christmas Day

This was my very first Christmas spent away from home.  I was sad to not be with a lot of family but was so thankful that I got to spend it with Dalin and Taelin. We really had a great Christmas.  I really enjoy when Christmas falls on a Sunday and we get to take the time to go to church and remember why we celebrate Christmas.  Our Christmas program was really cool too.  We had Bro. Phelps start out by sharing his testimony of Christmas and then it was followed by a bunch of different people from our branch going up and reading different scriptures about Christ.  And then we would stop and sing some Christmas songs as well.  It was really quite different, but I felt the spirit so strongly that it was really cool.  I am so happy that I know that Jesus Christ was born for us and that he died for us so we can live again with Him someday.  I am so thankful for the spirit Christmas and am so grateful for His example of giving and that we got to give to so many this Christmas season. It was a GREAT Christmas.
It all started out with us making Christmas breakfast.  We made Snowman Pancakes.  I think they turned out really cute.  (I stole the idea from my friend Misty).  We also made Eggs and Hash-browns as well.  So yummy! 

Taelin was so excited to eat a snowman pancake!

Here is a video of Taelin saying MERRY CHRISTMAS

After breakfast it was time to google+ my family so they could see Taelin open the presents they got him.  Taelin waited to patiently too.

yay! we LOVE THIS MOVIE!

He got him a new tie:) and Taelin is opening the present that G &G Bradshaw got him...A THOMAS THE TRAIN SET! SO EXCITED!

Then it was time to google+ Dalin's parents so they could see Taelin open his presents.

Thanks John and Ashlie for getting this for us! We love it!

After we opened presents, Taelin of course wanted to play with them.  :) So glad we didn't have church till 1:00pm that day.  We got ready for church and took some pics of Taelin in front of Allison's Christmas tree (since we didn't have one).  I think they turned out so cute!

After church it was time to head to the Johnson's for Christmas Dinner.  It turned out great.  We all had a great time hanging out and playing with Danika and Ryleah's new Christmas presents.
