Christmas this year was magical. There were a few factors that, when put into the equation, made it so. First, it was a WHITE Christmas. A small miracle of it's own for where we live. Next, Christmas was on Sunday. I LOVE Christmas on Sunday. I even got to sing in sacrament with Mellaina playing the flute and Randy playing for me. It did my heart some good, to have church on Christmas. I wish Christmas was always on Sunday like Easter. Next, Mike and Mellaina were there and Grandpa and Nana. These visitors made it feel magical indeed. And last, I have little children. It's impossible for it to be Christmas with children and not have it be magical!
Only two things kept it from being perfect. First, I was too far away from my family. And I missed them. And second, I did not get a picture of my family in our Sunday clothes by the Christmas tree. I am so mad I forgot. Especially Madeline in her beautiful Christmas dress made by Nana. Seriously, what was I thinking? Or not thinking?!?!
But other than that, the day could not have been better. One of my favorite parts of the day was watching everyone open their gifts from Madeline.
She made homemade gifts for everyone and they were darling. The book she made Oliver was the best. I'll have to post it. He loved it.
The only picture of Madeline's dress...and the sash isn't even on...
Cooper's awesome tower crane may have been the favorite toy of the day
unless you ask Ethan!
Boots of cuteness!
Fun times. Merry Christmas 2016.
