Merry Christmas
Every Christmas Eve we open pajamas because my Mom likes us to look nice on Christmas day....Note it is 5pm and all of us, except for Mom are still in our pj's! So I was with Melissa when we picked her pajamas out but I didn't see any I wanted. Well my mom surprised me with the 'boyfriend' Victoria Secret sweats and Melis and I had picked out matching shirts. Just wanted to be festive. No big deal. So, to my surprise, we both opened up matching pajamas. Don't worry Dani we got you a pair too!
What a blessing it is to be able to spend quality time with family. I have been working pretty much this entire break and I am exhausted. I have Christmas day, and the day after (tomorrow) off and I am SO excited to do nothing all day and just rest. Ha, yeah that may sound pathetic but I need a break. Physically and emotionally. Christmas morning was fun, I was really tired because I took NyQuil last night and fell asleep around 2 because I decided to watch a movie, and I felt the repercussions this morning at 7 when Tyler and Josh were in my room jumping on my bed. It was fun to see Tyler all excited about Santa coming, He ate the cookies and drank the milk, and even left the boys a note. We have a Christmas tradition of opening stockings then eating a nice big Christmas breakfast. It was delicious, I made the eggs...to perfection (in my mind) of course), and then we opened presents one by one. I got some cute outfits but will need to return/exchange a few things. We will all be looking nice in our new Christmas clothing. I am so grateful for all of my blessings. Last night I reflected upon the life of the Savior and thought of all the injustices in the world. I am so grateful to live in a free country where my voice can be heard and respected. Our loving Savior, Jesus Christ has given us the opportunity to return to live with the Father again. We will all be given justice in the end. In the Book of Mormon it reads, "...by their works ye shall know them; for if their works be good, then they are good also" Moroni 7:5. I am grateful for this Christmas season and for the true meaning of Christmas, celebrating the life and birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I love Him and I know that He lives. Thank you to all of my family and friends who I love and bless my life each and every day. I love you all and thanks for putting up with me!
