We had so much fun watching the kids on Christmas morning. They were both very pleased with their gifts from Santa. This year Santa was very careful with what he brought. We felt that we needed to really focus on what the true meaning of Christmas is, and not just about the gifts. Jared and I and the kids concentrated on missionary work and opening our home to the many nonmember friends we have. We aslo helped by giving some their toys and clothing to those in need. Both Gabby and Austin played a major role in this. They helped with cleaning out their closets and drawers and taking everything they did not need or use out of them. As a family we had a wonderful Christmas. It was by far my favorite.
