Merry Christmas!

The girls claim to have woken up somewhere around 5:30, but they know they are not allowed to wake us up until 7. At exactly 7 AM, they came running in to wake us!

Because Christmas fell on a Sunday this year, we had to rush a little bit so we could have the presents opened by the time we went to church at 9. Mission accomplished, but we didn't get to our traditional Aebelskiver breakfast so that had to wait until after church.

Our church service was beautiful, with a lot of joy and rejoicing to celebrate the birth of our Savior. I was reminded that all of these kinds of celebrations- holidays, Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, etc. add so much happiness to our lives. What a bleak world it would be if we didn't take time out of our schedules to celebrate!







Camille got a horse, and Audra got an American Girl Doll (a used one).






Claire got a barn for the horse she got for her Birthday last year. She even is allowing Camille's horse to share in the barn- both their horses are sleeping there tonight. It is pretty cute.

 Camille is so in love with these cowboy boots she got from Grandma and Grandpa Marriott:


It was a wonderful day! I really don't know how we could be any more blessed.
