Christmas

Hanging with the Hesses

...hmm...can you tell they are siblings? I've never seen so many people look so alike!

Christmas at Lehnardt's. My sister Julie and her family made a last-minute visit from Missouri! I was totally surprised - aparently I was the only one out of my family and Sean's family who didn't know until Christmas Day! Who knew they could all keep a secret so well? I'm very impressed.

Jackson is full of Christmas Spirit

I can't believe it's already over! Christmas always seems to come and go so fast. But this year I thoroughly enjoyed it. We spent time with both of our families who live close by. We played games, relaxed, and ate too many treats :) It was a really nice Christmas.

I took a tip from my friend Georgia and got all my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving, so I feel like that contributed a lot to my satisfaction. It was nice to be able to focus more on Christ and on the people I love instead of having to worry about presents.

But....speaking of presents...Sean got me an awesome new camera!!! I was so surprised and excited. I've been taking a lot of pictures and trying to figure out all the buttons and settings. What an amazing husband I have - he must be psychic because I've been wanting a new camera for a long time (ever since our other one died in the Provo river..I still need to share that story.)

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas too!
