We had a fantastic Christmas! We were able to have our "company dinner" a few days before Christmas and it was a huge hit with all of our subs and employees. One of the highlights of Travis' Christmas season every year is doing this dinner.
We were fortunate to have enough to get our kids gifts that they wanted without going overboard. Our ward also knew of our financial struggle and helped us again this year when we weren't expecting it. It was a pleasant surprise. We used some of the $ that they gave us on a gift card and then gave the remainder to one of Travis' lawn employees that is out of work and we knew they needed it.
Having church on Christmas day was delightful (except when I took Dallin home to take a nap)....I loved having that as a focus during our day.
Mom and dad were able to come over and share our gifts with us before church. Travis was so sweeet and surprised me beyond all things surprising by getting me a purse and then putting in it 3 of the essential oils that I have been wanting for quite some time. It was such a sweet thing to do!
My kids were thrilled with their gifts and we enjoyed good food and good company during the day! They all slept in the same room on Christmas eve and the little boys who got tents for christmas slept in their tents on Christmas night. A good time was had by all!
