Christmas is .....

Christmas is new family pictures. And we are always thankful to update our wall as our children grow in size and number. Grandma & Grandpa get new school pictures from each of the families to go on the wall. This year we started a new tradition. We've given the kids a Christmas book each year that correlates with our Christmas Theme. Now the binder of feelings has grown in size, we decided to give faces to some of the memories. For the next 7 years we will write a book about each of our children. Aaron was selected to be the first book. Pictures with memories, the lives of each of our children will be depicted.
Christmas is dear friends visiting. Becky & Anna Tyler made our Christmas day special as Anna reported her success up at Utah State where she is enhancing her education.
Christmas is gathering to eat & daughters helping in the kitchen.
We have 4 of the greatest daughter-in-laws.
Christmas is also son's & son's in laws chatting about their businesses.
We already know & realize how great our sons are but Tim & I have 2 of the finest son-in-laws.
Christmas is embracing Grandchildren. Izzy is beautiful & so full of mischief. (Just like her Dad)
Christmas is children laughing & loving each other.
Christmas is opening gifts filled with love.
Christmas is Aunts loving nieces & nephews.
Christmas is talking with loved ones that live so far away & feeling their love seem so close. (Thank you God for making Skype!)
And Christmas is attending a Elementary School Christmas program and realizing your children are now the teachers.
