Christmas Eve

-
I wanted to update Christmas Eve on Christmas Eve. We started off today with having breakfast with my mom and dad at Mimi's Cafe. It was a great way to start our day. It was cool because when our waiter brought our check he asked if there was anything else he could do and Jared said sure you could bring me some muffins to go. Then he said he was kidding. Well in a few minutes the waiter came back with four muffins and told us Merry Christmas. That was so nice and cool. We went from breakfast to run some gifts to some of our friends, did some last minute shopping, and then we came home and spent some time with Jared's sister and her family playing games and eating treats. We then did the same tradition as always and made home made pizza.Yum! Jared has been doing this since he was a little kid. We shed some tears because Jared's mom wasn't here. It has been hard having her gone. And then we always read the story of Jesus' birth out of the scriptures. Then we opened our P.J'S. This year we did all sponge bob P.J'S. Everyone looked so cute in yellow. Now we are waiting for the kids to settle down. It is fun for me to hear them all so excited in there room(they are all sleeping in the same room) They are laughing with each other and having fun. This is the kind of thing that does my heart good. I love my family and I love Christmas. I can't wait for tomorrow to see how they all like what Santa brought for them. I hope everyone has a great Christmas.
Love,
Cindy

Preston turned 12 years old on the 29th. I can't believe it! Where does the time go? I know I always say this but my little boy can't be going into junior high school. If you know Preston you know that he is a great kid. He loves telling jokes and is really good at it. He has the best laugh. It always puts a smile on my face. He is always willing to help us out when we need it. He has kept himself busy this last year by spending time with his friends, swimming on the swim team, scouting and of course at this age he loves his video games. He loves kicking back with Jared and playing World of Warcraft. Preston we love you! Happy Birthday!
