It's Joyful & Triumphant


We were so thrilled to spend Christmas at home this year. This was the first time in our married life that we didn't travel for the holidays. We were so excited to start some of our own family traditions.


Of course we made time to decorate gingerbread cookies and a house. We also fit in a lot of Christmas books and movies. Because of the run in with Santa earlier we decided to leave that alone. We planned on going to Temple Square, but because of weather that didn't happen. We also wanted to drive around and look at Christmas light, but Ellie said she didn't want to do we nixed that.


The best part was on Christmas Eve when we had family over to celebrate. We had a big ham dinner, watched "Murray Saves Christmas", and enjoyed each other's company.


Christmas morning we got up and opened presents. Ellie was beside herself when she saw all of the gifts. She ripped through all of them and of course wanted each toyed opened and assembled immediately.


Ellie received a Princess vanity from Santa, and she fell in love instantly. She sat and did her hair and makeup all day.



She also loved her new Barbies, play food, and dolls. The peace and quiet the toys have Mister and I were the best gift we could have ever received.
