We had an amazing Christmas this year. Starting off with a lovely dinner and present exchange with the Greer's on December 23rd here in Utah and then flying to Washington on Christmas Eve and visiting my family for 9 days! We were afraid we were not going to make it because of all the snow storms, but we had no delays and things went smoothly. When we arrived in Olympia we were snowed in for 3 days, we didn't leave the house. We ate and visited and played games and ate some more...
I KNEW Spence and I got each other the same thing, I just had a feeling we would both pick out a GPS system for each other, because we have gotten lost several times together...So here we are Christmas morning, both opening the same gift...A GPS....
What I didn't KNOW was that Spencer bought me a car to put the GPS in!! I couldn't believe it, it was quite the SURPRISE! (as you can tell from my face) In fact, I cried. He bought me a black 2002 Denali.
All the boys got their new dress shirts from Kath.
Benson was not afraid of Santa, in fact he loved Santa's visit Christmas Eve night.
Jena and Benson playing the parts of Mary and a sleeping baby Jesus in our Luke reading.
Grandma Kath bought all the grandchildren adorable Christmas pajamas, a tradition we always had growing up in the Russell family.
Isn't this just the sweetest!! Matching cousins under the Christmas tree. (left-right)Savvy, Russell, TJ and Benson.
