Christmas Day! A day to celebrate Christ's birth! We try to keep Christ in Christmas by focusing on helping others, reading Christmas stories of giving and cheer every night in December, giving gifts related to the gifts the Wise men gave the Savior and surrounding our self with family!
Kids on Christmas morning!
Stocking time!
Celebrating Christmas with Nanny and Poppa and Rachel and her family!
The Nelson Family Christmas Day 2015
The joy of opening a gift!
Spy stuff for Shayla! The kids asked for Spy stuff, Skylanders and Legos. We don't overwhelm them with gifts as they get 3 main gifts but they did get Skylander and Lego Dimensions and Spy stuff too! They were happy.
The kids participate in a Secret Santa at their school where people donate gifts and the kids shop for their family member - everything is $1 - and the money raised from selling the gifts goes to a Charity! It is a great project for all! Mitchell got Jon a "Bacon Cookbook"
We had Christmas Dinner at Rachel's House - cousin love!
Megan and her family came to visit the week after Christmas so we got to spend more time with our Abbott cousins too! The kids always love going in the river bed.
My beautiful sister!
The kids having fun with the jeep and Skateboard
Fun times!
And that ends another Christmas season! My favorite part of the season is getting to spend time with family! I am so blessed to have a wonderful family and a wonderful family I married into! I am grateful that our Heavenly Father gave us the gift of eternal life and forever families! That's the best gift I could ever hope for!
