The very best present I got this Christmas was not having to go into work, which means I got to spend the whole day with my loves!! We started the morning off by coming down to all our presents. Emry actually "got it" better than I thought she would. She loved to pick a present and then sit there and open it. Thankfully, most of the presents were hers so it didn't even matter which ones she picked because it was probably hers! We opened maybe half the gifts and then took a break to make a yummy breakfast.
After a delicious breakfast (homemade pancakes, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and Orange Julius) we finished opening all the presents. Ryan got tired on a full stomach and decided to take a nap so Emry and I played with all her toys until her nap.
After everyone's nap, we decided to take a trip to visit Olivia's grave. It was a special time to have our whole family together again on Christmas. We miss that little baby every day.
On our way home, we stopped at Ryan's Aunt Julie's house and played some games with their family. Then we headed home to have a thrown together dinner of whatever we could find.
All in all, our Christmas was wonderful and filled with the Spirit of Christ. I feel like we had such a simple Christmas and so we had a lot of time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and really spend a lot of time together as a family. We hope you all had a great Christmas this year!!
Our tree all ready for Emry to come down and open present! It was so fun being Santa Clause. I think I was the most excited person Christmas morning!! Couldn't wait to see Emry love her present!!
This girl LOVED her new car. She kept getting in and out and telling us "bye bye" and "see ya later" Totally adorable!!
