We had a cozy Christmas this year. We stayed home and both of our families came to us! My family came over in the morning and had a huge breakfast and then did our gift exchange. My sister was back east visiting her in laws , so it was a small group. Later in the day Jordan's family came over, and we snacked for lunch, did our gift exchange, and then had a delicious dinner. We had a roast, cheesy potatoes, salad, and homemade bread. Our favorite Christmas presents this year were our wheat grinder from my grandma, and our new bread maker that we bought for ourselves. We are planning on buying our wheat whole (wheat berries) and grinding it to make flour and then baking our own bread. It is so delicious and so healthy! We sang Christmas carols, watched The Elf, and relaxed and enjoyed spending time together.

This was Coleton's first Christmas, and he was so much fun! He can entertain himself really well and loves to crawl and explore things. He loved playing with all the packaging of toys and presents, than the gifts themselves, of course. Clara loved celebrating Jesus' birthday and was so cute and excited with each present she opened. These times just get more and more fun with the kids, and I love that Clara is getting old enough to teach her the real meaning of Christmas! Now we are getting ready for our annual trip to Big Bear...so excited!
