We had a wonderful Christmas made even better because it arrived on the Sabbath Day. Christopher decided to set his alarm for 6:30 am and off course slept right through it. It went off for about 20 minutes before I finally shut it off. Thankfully, it didn't wake up either Emrie or Isaac, both deep sleepers.
We finally woke them up a little after 7:00 am and after they each opened one gift we went to church where we heard an inspiring message from Bishop Sampson and sang Christmas carols.
After church we enjoyed opening gifts together and our annual visit from Grandpa and Grandma Davis.
Jenna received a bunch of stuff for her mission, including a new and very cool Sony camera. Christopher enjoyed several art items including some sculpting clay and tools. He spent much of the day building a cool skull. Isaac, our football nut, received a helmet, gloves, and some action figures. Emrie is enjoying her new Calico Critters and some dolls.
We missed Matthew, Aubrey, Cooper, and Bentley who were in Boise. We did celebrate earlier in the week before they left. Unfortunately, Cindy was home with a stomach bug so she had to join us vis Skype -- oh the blessings of technology.
