We had a great Christmas this year! Ammon and I were staying at my parent's house (they were out of town for Christmas) as we were packing up our house. Christmas morning we slept in, showered, ate breakfast, got ready for the day, THEN we opened presents. First we looked at our stockings and opened the gifts that Santa left with our stockings. Then we opened presents from under the tree. We noticed that we sort of had a "travel" or "camping" theme this year! Next we went to church where they had a beautiful Christmas program. There were narrators who read the Christmas story from the bible intermixed with musical numbers. When we got home from church, we started getting lunch ready - our first time making a turkey! Mark, Carrie and Amber came over for lunch (we had turkey, potatoes, gravy and stuffing). We opened more presents with them, played a fun new game we got for Christmas (Quirkle) and had a very enjoyable afternoon. A little while after they left, the Powell's came over and we had a fun time talking with them!
We had a wonderful Christmas and were so happy to be able to spend time with family. We are so grateful to have this holiday to remind us of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and of all He has given to us.

Temple Square
The Powell's came into town right before Christmas, and we got to go to Temple Square with them. We had a really fun time! We parked a couple of blocks from Temple Square and rode Trax the rest of the way.
Avri (6 years old) said, "The trees look like they're growing glow in the dark berries!" Sadie (3 years old) said that her favorite part was riding the train. Talmage (5 years old) just talked and talked! We even found out who he's going to get married to! We love spending time with our nieces and nephews, and siblings too :)

Graduation Party
Today we celebrated Ammon graduating from BYU in Manufacturing Engineering. We had a wonderful party, where friends and family were invited to come celebrate with us. It gave us a great opportunity to see friends and family before we move.
I am so so proud of Ammon. I am so grateful to be married to someone who values an education and has worked hard to earn it. Because of Ammon's hard work, he has a job with Caterpillar. I think he deserved a celebration in his honor!
Thank you to all of you who helped us celebrate!
