I heard the bells on Christmas day!


Christmas day is always full of action at our house! Once the kids have opened and savored their Christmas gifts, we have a huge pancake and sausage breakfast. This is Rob's baby. He has done it every year since I don't remember when.

One great thing about this Christmas is that we were able to talk to Jordan on the phone. It seems like it has been so long since he has been here. We miss him so much, but we really are so thankful for what he is doing. He is doing great and loves serving as a missionary in Honduras. He loves the people there, even though sometimes it can get frustrating. The joys far outweigh the frustrations and he loves serving the Lord. We missed having him here for this special day, but we know he will be home the next time Christmas is here. For now, we just enjoy receiving his letters and pictures and look forward to our next call on Mother's Day!

Here are some pictures of all the fun:
















Later we went to my mom's house for Christmas dinner. Here are a few pictures of us lounging there.

I love your Christmas pictures! You an Brailyn look adorable in your matching shirts. I wish I could have been there for Rob's yummy pancake breakfast. It looks like everyone got a lot of great gifts and had a wonderful day. What a nice picture of Mom with Brailyn and Madison. Great pics of everybody!
