This was Dieter's first Christmas and a very special one. The spirit of the season was strong as we focused on our Savior and His birth. We read many stories and started teaching Genivieve Christmas songs right after Halloween to ensure she would know a few in time. "Angles We Have Heard On High" quickly became a regular in our evening scripture study and singing. We visited the Temple lights at the Mesa Temple a few times. I was so overcome by emotion one late night as we stood on the empty grounds, under the bright star, and once again told of His Birth and I could see that Genivieve understood. I am so thankful for my testimony of our Savior and that we can celebrate this wonderful season with so much Family time.
Grandma Kerri and Auntie Hannah came over for presents and Christmas fun. They always spoil the kids. It was too fun watching them just open the gifts and play with the paper.
Next we went to Celebrate with the Grandpa Chesley, Luhanna, Great-Grandma and Aunts and Uncles. We had a great meal and played family Mad Lib and guessed how many M&M's are in the jar. Brent won again, too fun!
