Christmas 2011

Frosty Greets all Visitors
This has been a great Christmas.  We actually went to Jared and Heather's house on the 14-16th of December and had an early Christmas with them.  We had so much fun.  We got to open presents with the girls and enjoyed seeing the enjoyment they had.  On Saturday we went to Sophie's school for a Breakfast with Santa program.  We had great pancakes and then Sophie's class sang a number of Christmas songs - they were great - what fun.  We met her teacher and saw her class room and some of her school work.  Then we drove over to Roanoke and enjoyed the farmer's market before going to the Roanoke Hotel and looking at many decorated trees.  The trees were decorated with a number of themes and were beautifu to see..

On Saturday (Christmas Eve)  we went over to Jonathan and Nicole's and enjoyed Christmas with their family.  They had decided to do the presents on Saturday.  It was great.  They opened the presents and then we got to play with them and watch Michael and Jax having a great time.  We took many pictures! 

At this Christmas season we are very blessed.  We are greatful for our savior whose birth we celebrate and for his gospel,  What joy and happiness we feel as we enjoy our family and loved ones.  As we count the many blessings he has shared with us we give thanks..  Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!
