Christmas was so much fun this year because we had our two little ones who could enjoy it. Anisten especially had an idea of what was going on and was so excited to get her Princess Piano!
In fact she was so excited that she woke up at 6:30 am! I was a little surprised and not happy about that, but it was cute. Christmas was also nice this year because we didn't get sick (I had a cough, but that's manageable compared to what we've been through)! It seems like sickness is often present at Christmas, but we lucked out this year.
I probably went a bit crazy for Christmas this year but I kept finding good deals and it was fun to shop for things I knew the girls would enjoy. It won't be like that every Christmas and stuff is lots cheaper for younger kids, so I figured I might as well spoil them while I can.
Here are the presents and tree on Christmas morning
Anisten with her new Princess Piano. She loves it!
All decked out in her new dress ups. What a beautiful Princess!
Aivree with her new toy. I'm not sure what to call it but it's got lots of buttons and sounds so she loves it.
Playing with her new blocks
And..playing with a box, of course. Who needs toys right?
Rob with his BYU stocking. I got him some cologne, an itunes card and a CD. He got me a new purse which I love because I finally have a purse big enough to carry all my stuff and the girls stuff without it falling out all over the place (thanks Kina for helping him with that).

Christmas is of course more than just getting presents and we were able to take the opportunity to give this year to those who were in need. With the Stevenson family we were able to buy Christmas for a boy and girl who would otherwise have nothing. Not only that, but this is the time of year we celebrate the Savior's birth and remember all He went through for us. I love Christmas and am already looking forward to next year.
