Christmas 2011

This Christmas was wonderful and it came and went so quickly.  We were able to get a  beautiful Christmas tree this year from Woodbury tree farm in Moscow.  I love the smell of fresh pine.
It took me 3-4 days to finally get it decorated, thanks to my boys for their persistent prodding.  I love it.  This Christmas we had Grandpa and Grandma Morley come and visit! Thanks so much for coming!  It was great to see you guys and spend Christmas with you! Thanks to all you siblings who shared them with us this year!  We had a wonderful year and were very spoiled. We are so truly grateful for all of our family members who sent us packages and surprise deliveries this year!  

Here is Daddy imitating how much Santa will love our cookies:)

            So Christmas Eve, we did a little last minute shopping and had a wonderful dinner of roast and funeral potatoes, jello, home-made rolls, fruit and dip-I introduced them to sour cream-pudding fruit dip:) So good for dipping rolls and potato chips too! We read the Christmas story in Luke and watched the nativity clip from Joy to the World DVD. After family prayer the kids went to bed and we did the dishes and finished wrapping our last minute gifts. We fed the reindeer and left cookies out for Santa.

We spent the day playing with our new presents and playing games together. Still no snow yet here..... but that is not what matters at Christmas time. We enjoyed going to the Nativities in Moscow this year and spending time with each other over the holiday. Church on Sunday morning was beautiful and we all talked about how music can really bring the spirit of Christmas. Thanks to all of our family and friends and we hope you all had a wonderful Christmas this year!
