Christmas came full swing too fast maybe not having
snow made it feel farther away. We had to make some adjustments to my treatments, which is frustrating because I want to move forward with the fight but at least I am not as sick just swollen.
We enjoyed parties and music and
visitors swinging by with treats. We had
a few secret Santa surprises and someone did the 12 days of Christmas to us. I can’t believe how much those little visits
lifted our spirits; we were overwhelmed with that show of kindness. It is hard to even express how much it meant
to us and how much we needed it, even when we didn’t realize it.
We swung into Kanab for Christmas Eve nativity
Grandpa is
the best narrator and
Mary & Joseph were the cutest ever. This Christmas Eve tradition is one of my very
favorites and Heath was a great donkey too.
We loved Christmas with Grandma & Grandpa
and we were so glad to have Natalie’s family there too! We like building better relationships and Bennett was loving Kajia’s Frozen dolls
Rianne loves surprises and loves doing the Santa prep. Nearly every
Santa surprise was snooped out by the boys and we had to readjust gifts. Ria was certain she wouldn’t have any
surprises she knew all of her gifts too.
She didn’t have too many things on her list just: Hailey, (a friend who
moved) jeggings, jeans and mint shampoo.
My highlight was swinging a Santa surprise for her Jolly Ol’ St. Nick
said “she could Ring in the New Year
with an Old friend”.
She was delighted
with gas cards! The Boys were very pleased with Christmas
too!
My parents went in on a gift for
Mr. Clean too!
One thing I love about
being the mom is that Christmas really becomes about joy of giving and makes me
feel closer to Christ who gave the ultimate gift.
We are looking forward to swinging in a New Year.
Here is our Christmas letter too.
