Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve was a good day. It started with making some cookies in the morning to leave for Santa. That evening we had the Sister Missionaries over for dinner and then they stayed long enough to read the Nativity with us. After they headed out John, Rachel, and David opened their new Christmas pajamas and Rachel helped put out the cookies for Santa before heading to bed.

Christmas day was a lot of fun. Rachel loved opening presents and was very keen to 'help' everyone open their presents as well as her own. David wasn't as into opening the presents as we thought he would be but he did like a few of his presents. Since Christmas was on a Sunday we got to go to church for Sacrament meeting.  We started our day around 7:00 and the kids opened their presents from Santa and we all went through our stockings.  We then had a delicious German pancake breakfast before getting dressed for church in our new clothes. After we got home we FaceTimed with my family while the kids opened there present from them. They had to get off to head to church and we changed into more comfortable clothes before opening the rest of the presents under the tree; we even got a few things for Baby Girl. That night for dinner the Elders came over to eat with us and then they stayed for a little while so we could play a few games.
