Christmas/New Year 2013

This is our ward Christmas party and the only picture I have with Santa and the kids. Grandpa Ron was Santa, Uzziah suspected the whole night. So I finally had to tell hime that Santa got too busy and couldn't make it so Tata told him he would help him for our ward Christmas party. He finally was satisfied with that answer. This was our first Christmas in our new home. It was wonderful. I had so much fun decorating!!! It was tough because we moved in the first week of December. We unpacked as best we could, luckily we had a lot of help from family and friends. Thanks everyone for all your help. Then we decorated and got the house ready just in time for Christmas Eve, which we celebrated at our new place with my family like our usual tradition. Since the kids are a little older now we had them act out a live nativity. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen. Uzziah played one of the three kings. Christmas night was spent at Matthew's aunt's house with his family. Christmas morning was extra special, I have a new tradition and put christmas lights from the doorway of their room that leads all the way to the christmas tree (of course Santa has everything to do with it). Uzziah and Sofia were so excited. Seeing the smile on their faces just made my whole year. I am so thankful for everything that I have for I KNOW that our Heavenly Father blesses us if we strive to be righteous. My dream has come true and I finally feel grounded. We had New Year's Eve at my sister-in-law Crystal's house. We invited a family from our ward that moved to Reno, NV. We became really good friends with them and will miss them dearly. Good bye Schulz family. We plan on visiting them soon.
