Christmas 2012

Christmas Day finally arrived and our kids were absolutely SPOILED!  It was so much fun to watch their faces and see them so excited.  Luke was pretty funny as he would want each toy/present opened and would NOT even entertain the idea of opening more!  It took forever for us to convince him to open the rest of his presents - I think the last few Taija ended up opening for him.  Pa was ever so helpful in taking care of Mika...he helped her open most of her presents without telling anyone or keeping track of who they were from.  All in All it was a FABULOUS day spent with family and skyping with those who weren't with us!

 Luke and Taija both got scooters from Pa and Grammy - even Daddy had to try them out!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by family and loved ones.  It is such a beautiful time of year to remember the Savior's birth and to tell our children of that glorious event that occurred so long ago.  I hope that each year I can teach my children how much they are loved by not only their earthly family, but by their heavenly family who sent them the ultimate gift of our Savior.
