Merry Christmas!

I love this time of year and the time we get to reflect on the birth of our Savior and Redeemer. With all of the hustle and bustle of the season I really tried to find those moments to focus on the Savior and they truly do make a difference in the season. We had quite the week of festivities. My family wouldn't al be together on Christmas, so the Sunday before we got together at my mom's. ( with Braden's family and Dev's family). We enjoyed a delicious dinner ( as always) and then we enjoyed the nativity. I love watching the kids get dressed up. Lucky for all of the dad's in attendance we were in need of someone wisemen :) I took a video but no pictures darn it! Breckyn was an angel and got to follow Halle around, which she loved! Then of course at the end of the night we all opened presents. My mom spoiled all of us girls with Bosch mixers!

Tanner did get this picture of me playing the violin at my parents Sunday night. My mom always has us do our annual family talent show :)

 



Christmas Eve we went to Tanner's parents home. It was great and low key and easy. We enjoyed Papa Murphy's pizza! After dinner Tanner and I introduced them all to the Best Christmas Pageant Ever. It was a hit :) We watched the Nativity and that is always so special! Grandma and Grandpa Vollmer got all of the Grandkids these awesome upholstered chairs just their size. They were in love.
Christmas morning was great! Breckyn didn't want to get up, just like last year, but once she saw her toys she was fine. We had my parents over for Breakfast so we enjoyed some of the day with them. We went over to Aunt Jan and Uncle Brad's for dinner and it was AMAZING! Breckyn loved playing all day with EJ and Emily! We were definitely tired by the time we got home but we had sure enjoyed a great Christmas day!
