This year we spent Christmas in Mesa, Arizona with my family. Before we headed to our vacation in the sun, Nana and Papa celebrated an early Christmas with us. We had a wonderful evening and Ashley loved discovering how to unwrap her presents.
We had a great time in Mesa, I especially loved being home for Christmas! It was such a joy to have our little Ashley with us this year! She didn't completely understand what was going on and at times I think she was a little overwhelmed, but she was so much fun! Christmas takes a whole new meaning when you have children around.

We had a wonderful Christmas! It was especially great to reflect on the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and His life. He is the reason for the season and I feel so blessed to know the love of my Savior. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
