Christmas Eve

What a wonderful day it was. We spent the whole day as a family. In the morning we worked a little on the kids playhouse. Then we went for a drive to see the new donut shop and its progress. Then we went to the Brick Oven to eat. We came home and baked pies and just hang out all evening. The kids opened presents from each other, it was cute. Nash is all Rescue bots right now. He was so happy his sissy got him "heatwave, with a trailer". I wish I could just record and remember how he talks and how they treat each other. Its priceless. 

So Santa has come, I am sitting her thinking how I am going to get to sleep tonight. Its just so exciting. The kids are awesome, they went to sleep at 8. They just go to bed so well. 

I am grateful for this month that we have had to spend some extra time learning of the saviors life. Kylee and I finished the Book of Mormon and  have been doing the Light the World program each night. It has been an awesome reminder. There was no frantic christmas shopping, or running around. I can say that we spent the month of December enjoying the season. This is a great start to the "simplicity" I will bring this year. My goal is creating peace in the home. I want to cook more, read more, and laugh more. 

Today, Derek made me and the kids laugh so  hard as we drove around. What a blissful day.
