We had an excellent Christmas this year. I can't believe we are already in the throws of January! Last year flew by. It seems like the older I get, the faster the years go by. Anyway...we woke up Christmas morning by the sound of pitter patter of little feet around 7:30. Santa actually came! We were worried since the kids had been kinda naughty. But apparently he is a forgiving Santa. So we opened presents, ate a delicious and "healthy" breakfast of cinnamon rolls and breakfast crescent braid, and got ready for church. I have to say, I really enjoyed having Christmas on a Sunday this year. I remember growing up, I loathed it because like all kids, all I wanted to do was play with my new toys all day. But what a perfect way to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Our Savior and His birth. I am so thankful for Him and his birth. I am so thankful for the Atonement and His redeeming grace. He gives me strength in my life and I would be lost without Him and my Heavenly Father. I know that if I am ever lost or in need of comfort, I can get on my knees and feel of His love and strength. He knows and loves each and every one of us and is constantly lifting and supporting us through life. Again, I am so thankful for my Savior.
A few pictures from the day (someday I'll figure out how to get video downloaded. We have some funny moments of the kids).

Your kids are so cute! Isn't that just how it is with 3 little ones...you have to take a million pictures just so one of them will turn out kind of okay. Silly parents...think we can get them to all be perfect at the perfect time. When will we ever learn?! :)
Oh my gosh, those christmas dresses are adorable. Glad to see you guys had a fun Christmas! Miss you!
Good to see you had a great Christmas. Thank goodness for photoshop. Now we can make a great picture happen. Rani takes her family pics with one person at a time, then puts them together and she just has the one.
