For some reason, Christmas had all the right balance for me this year. We were focused on family and the Savior. I don't know why, but we kept it more in perspective. We had to open gifts early as we went to Utah with Eric's family. So, maybe because we had more focus on family and less on gifts, it just felt right. First, Elf on the Shelf flew in as soon as Thanksgiving was over. He watched over the kids each day and reported back to Santa that night. Boy, were they good for Elf! I sure love this little guy as a mom!
The kids made their traditional Gingerbread houses with grandma this year (who started the tradition long ago!)
We got to have Christmas with the Lewis family in Northern Utah this year. The kids were REALLY hoping for snow, but there wasn't much on the ground. We did drive up the canyon and find enough for sledding, whew!
