The Best Christmas Ever…

Mark and I agreed that this year was the best Christmas for our family. We were really good at staying to the budget for the girls…. sandbox to share, Tessa a leapfrog  and Mallory a ride & pull wagon and other smaller things.

However, Mark did not stay to the budget for me! We said NO gifts except a stocking…. he bought me a beautiful charm bracelet and earrings. But the BEST Christmas present he got me was a video that he made for me about me. He interviewed friends and family. To me it is priceless! Mark got a stocking but he also got a video of the girls doing different things while he was away at Target (his 2nd job).

We had a wonderful time with family over a three day period. We were spoiled with generous gifts from parents/grandparents. Church on Christmas was wonderful, the spirit was amazing.

We started a new tradition of visiting the Temples Visitor Center on Christmas Eve. It was a great way to reinforce the true reason for the season with our girls and it really brought a wonderful spirit to Mark and I.

We couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas!

Dance Recital

Tessa had her first dance recital. She was so excited. Her class danced to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I was nervous for her because she had to be there two hours before for a dress rehearsal but Tessa did great. She was very proud of herself. Also her papas and grandmas enjoyed watching her.
