Christmas 2013

Christmas time is such a special time. I love the traditions that it brings. One tradition we always have is attending the live nativity at a local church. Sadly, this year, they didn't do it. I hope they will do it again next year. I missed doing that with my family this year. Another tradition we have is making sweets and delivering them on Christmas eve. We did get to do this! Katona also got to come along this year. We visited with Sis. Weber, Sis. Laverne, and Timmy. I always love doing this. When we got back home, we opened presents. Mom got to spend several weeks with us so she was there too. I'm glad she didn't spend Christmas alone. Christmas day we had breakfast for Papaw Ray. Katona came too. Then, Pete, Lucas, and I went to Mamaw and Papaw Moores for lunch. Katona and Cody went to Katona's grandmas for lunch. Then, the day after Christmas, we had the Mintons at our house. Elder Ahokava and Elder Nelson came too. It was such a good time. Sadly, Christi couldn't come because she was sick. I hated that but understood. After we ate and opened presents, we all went caroling. I loved it! We went to Pete's grandparents and Sister Weber's. They were both so surprised and grateful to have us. I hated to say goodbye; we had such a good time. It's hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone again. I am grateful for my family. Here's a few pics from this special time of year.
