CHRISTmas With a great Family

Christmas this year was nice. We missed my sister and her husband but we DID have my brother and his son, and of course the grandparents. After last year and the overload of gifts, Jared asked everyone to limit how much they bought for the kids. It kinda worked, people found ways to not listen all the way but it was still a little bit better. My mom found a magnet story board where we could read the birth of Christ story and the kids could play with all of the characters. They liked it and it was nice that they could think about the greater part of Christmas.
