Merry Christmas!

This year was my first Christmas without my mom and dad. I was a little skeptical going into this Christmas season, but it has been such a great Christmas.

We were so excited for Christmas Eve because that meant Grandma Jane's Orange rolls, plus the Trythalls were in town. As we sat down for dinner the doorbell rang. Jane went to get the door and this lovely family Surprised ALL of us by driving all the way from Texas just to spend the Holiday with the family!! It truly was a Christmas Miracle!!

We haven't seen them since our wedding and have missed them so much. I was so excited to see the kiddies and meet Little Spencer and Lucy. They are adorable, and we are having so much fun doting over them. i keep hoping the snow kicks in and they have to stay until it melts. It has made our Christmas so much fun! We woke up this morning at 4:30 AM because we were so excited. Usually my mom just tells me to go back to bed, but mom wasn't here! So Andy and I put our Christmas PJ's on and headed out to see what Santa had brought.

Santa was very good to us this year, and Ju-won loved his stocking. It actually worked out better because then we got to head over to the Coons' to see all the kids open their presents.

PLUS we got to talk to Elder Trevor Dean which was great! It was so fun to hear his accent and all of his daily activities.

Cute Hopkin family and their talent of Feliz Navidad in the Coons family talent show:

We love you Hopkin and Trythall families and we wished you lived closer!!

All the little girls got American Girl dolls this year. I wished I had known I would have brought mine to play with. Mariah and Meg got matching outfits and looked adorable!

Side Note: Andy wanted to "throw me off" so he added rocks to my boots box.. it totally worked, I thought he had bought Bocce Ball.

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas. Here's to 2009!
