Justin and I had a nice little Christmas. Although we didn't get a chance to go back home, (since I had to work Christmas Day and be back in Rexburg for work at 7am Tuesday, and my parents didn't want me flying home this pregnant), we still enjoyed the Christmas we had.
Christmas Eve we both had off, and we decided to do a little Christmas Eve dinner for the two of us. It was an easy dinner to put together. We had a 3lb. ham, stuffed baked potatoes, banana and cherry jell-O, salad, rolls, and an Oreo Cheesecake (something I need to master). Everything was really good, and I was a little surprised that everything turned out so well.
On Christmas Day, I had to work from 7am-3pm and then headed down to Salt Lake to spend time with Jeff, Tammy and her family for the majority of our stay, and then to Justin's Aunt's for breakfast Monday morning. We were grateful that we were able to spend time with family, and it was convenient that my sisters-in-law are both from Utah, and it happened to be Christmas with their families this year. It really didn't feel like Christmas with just the two of us at home.
Our weekend consisted of playing "minute to win it," trying out the Kinect (the verdict: tons o' fun), a yummy breakfast at Krissy's, and a game of white elephant, a visit to the Church History Museum, In-N-Out with Sean, Rachel, and baby Dean, and picking out boys clothes from Rachel's sister's stash. (Thanks so much!) JD should now have clothes for his first year! :) He also got some stuff for Christmas from the family, that we cannot wait to try them on him, as always.
I'm so grateful for this time of year, where we dedicate the month to our Savior, and remember all that he has done for us. It's such a blessing to know that we'll be able to return to live with our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ again, and it is made possible because of Christ.
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
