Christmas through the eyes of children!

Kiana has been so excited for Christmas! She loves the lights. Everytime we pass a house with lights, she yells, "Mom, pretty lights!," and I better be listening or she will repeat it over and over. She loves this year that she can look out of the house and see our lights, thanks Dad for putting them up.

She has been asking Santa for a backpack with movies in it, where did she get that. She watches Dora who has a backpack and wanted one, and everytime she watches Arthur on PBS and he is going to school, she asks, "Mom, where is my backpack?", expecting me to get it right away. Now she can take more things to g-ma and g-pa's house.

We have definitely been so blessed this year and are so greatful for all we have. The girls were more than spoiled, not to mention Steve and myself. We had to do Christmas a day early, and were so happy to have Santa come to our house a day early. We had plans to go to Las Vegas, but with the weather forcasted to be terrible, we had to slip out early. We were kind of bummed to leave Kiana behind and didn't want to ruin her Christmas, but it turned out great a day early. Thanks to my parents for watching her and making Christmas special.

The girls are in matching Christmas jammies. Kiana loves to match whatever Maile has on, and she seems to wear it better, without throwing a fit.

This time of year is always so crazy, but we wouldn't change it. We love to spend time with loved ones and feel the holiday spirit. We love to reflect on the birth of Christ and are so greatful for his life and for the gospel in our lives. We have two beautiful daughters, a forever family, a nice and warm home, cars, a good job, the opportunity to continue school, food, clothes, and so many people that love us. We are truely blessed!
