Christmas

I have absolutely no pictures of Christmas which is terribly sad really. On Christmas Eve I went over the Andrews house for a family party with all his cousins and aunts and uncles and Dads nephews....so really any relation and i had a blast it was so good to meet everyone! after we ate a delicious meal we did a gift exchange where i got a beautiful scarf, delicious toffee, and tree ornaments that are gorgeous. after present exchange we headed out to the freezing cold and watched the boys light off giant fireworks....it was a great day for sure:)

Christmas was by far the best day of my life! we woke up and opened our presents as a family then headed off to church where they did a beautiful musical program. then i headed over to Andrews for a few hours ate some food and chit chatted then we headed to my house where we were able to skype Elder Parsons in Brazil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was so great to hear from him and see him. His English was horrific it was crazy how much he had forgotten but that is what happens when you engulf yourself in the culture and language. He is doing great and loving the experiences its not easy but the best things tend to be the hardest.
Christmas is such a wonderful day I love the message that comes with that day and the sweet happy feeling it brings. I also love having a niece and a nephew who  bring back the excitement and happiness santa brings to the house. It was definitely a wonderful day!
