Merry Christmas

Emmanuel, God with us. You left your throne to take on flesh and live with us. Your birth was the beginning of our salvation. Thank you God for sending your son. Merry Christmas!

We celebrated Christmas this year with my family here in Layton. My mom and Dad, brothers, Dallas and Dylan, and Dylan's fiancee, Danae, drove down from Montana. My sister Darcy, her husband, Dave, and their kids, Declan and Dana, flew in from Philadelphia. On Christmas Eve we went to Alpine's Christmas Eve service and then over to the Edwards' for finger foods. When we got home the kids cozied up in their PJ's and opened a few presents. On Christmas Day, we opened presents and enjoyed the Christmas dinner my mom and I prepared together. Later, the kids went sledding again and then after Grammie and Grampie and all the kids went to bed the rest of us played Catch Phrase (our new favorite game) for a few hours.
