Christmas Day

We had a pretty low key, relaxing day today. Grant woke up at 5:30 and asked if Santa came. He was pleasantly surprised to find that Santa did indeed come. Grant got everything on his list. Max (the stuffed dog) even got his green dog. Grant was also glad to see that Santa enjoyed the cookies and milk that we set out for him. And so the main attractions at this mornings extravaganza:

*Fire engine
*Purple Rody horse
*Green dog(s) for Max
*Light and sound Zoo
*Animal train
*Diego playdough
*Dolls (water baby and Madame A)
*Noah's ark
And lots of other little odds and ends. I also made Grace something to hang her bows on because the drawers I bought for them drive me CRAZY! The flowers always get smashed and it is hard to find exactly what I am looking for. And so, in the middle of the night it came to me...use some cardboard and some old ribbon and viola. Okay, I know, it needs some help but it is a good idea, right?!?! We hope everyone enjoyed their day! We are so thankful for all that we have, especially our Savior. We have definitely been blessed this year and we are so grateful for the gospel in our lives. Merry Christmas!

Drat! I sent you guys a Christmas card, but apparently I flubbed on the address, because I got it back yesterday. I had good intentions. Merry late Christmas and Happy New Year!
