Christmas this year was really fun. We stayed home and hosted Seb's parents and cousin's family (Michael, Olivia, Haley, and baby Emily on the way!) I think we're going to make Christmas Eve nachos (red and green chips) a new tradition (along with a huge mound of muddy buddies! Ha ha!). It was so easy and tasty! I also want to make sure we have Jacob and Shauna's family over every break because we love seeing their family so much! This year, I shared the bells with them that I've been doing in primary. They are loads of fun and get everyone involved! We are so grateful for our Savior and his matchless gift of eternal life and eternal families!
