Christmas Eve was spent with my side of the family. And Christmas Eve always means a party at my Grandma Anderson's. We were having too much fun for me to even snap one picture. It was a great evening spent with aunts, uncles, cousins, and 2nd cousins. It's always great to meet up with them.
We took a lot of video on Christmas morning. I love going back and watching. So here's just a little peak into our day, which was so great!!
Nora got the Minnie in her hand from Gramma J and Santa brought her that big pick teddy bear. After every gift she opened, no matter what it was, she just kept going back to that to sit on it.
What a good kid. He really is. I really can't complain.
Christmas dress from Mom and Dad.
Nora has a pretty cute daddy...
Enjoying all the goodies.
The nerf gun was a definite favorite this year.
Nora's favorite things: books and her stuffed animals. She got a lot of both for Christmas.
Christmas day was spent with Corey's family. It started off with breakfast at my house. I made Overnight French Toast Souffle (real food-ified). It was delicious and we loved hosting Christmas morning breakfast. Then we headed over to Corey's parents'.
We were also having too much fun over there to take too many pictures. I did get Dad and cute Nora. The bows in her hair were in her stocking and the outfit was also new. (which is one of the best parts of Christmas day...wearing all your new clothes!)
It was a beautiful holiday filled with so many blessings and great time spent with family. We had a really good experience throughout the month trying to teach Nathan (and Nora for the 5 seconds she'd sit down at a time) about the true meaning of Christmas and why we really celebrate. Teaching gospel truths in very simplified ways strengthen my testimony because it brings me back to the basic building blocks of that testimony. The gospel really is simple. It's all about love. If love is the motivating factor behind the things you do, you will never be in the wrong.
