Christmas! ... Where to Start?!

This Christmas was spent in Hermiston with Tyler's family! All of the kids and their respective spouses and children were there. It's the fullest the Bendixsen house has ever been on Christmas morning! (Just wait until there are more grandkids!) We had a great Christmas. It was so nice to see all of Tyler's siblings and to be able to spend time with them and get to know them better. I am so lucky to have such great in-laws that I get along with so well. I love them all so much!

Christmas Eve we went over to the Earl's (Tyler's cousin) house for festivities. We had a prime rib dinner, santa came to visit, we played Christmas Bingo, and talked! It was so fun! After the festivities there were over we went home and had a family Christmas Eve time. Dad talked about a story from the Book of Mormon and we got to open our Christmas Pajamas!!! We got matching jammies! So fun!

Christmas morning Addy slept in until 7:30... which means everyone slept in until 7:30, lucky! After I fed her we went and woke up her Aunts and Uncles! I think everyone was very happy with what they got for Christmas! Addy loved the baby food in her stocking and scratching the wrapping paper on the presents. After opening presents we dropped Addy off at Aunt Sheila and Uncle Gary's house so that we could go see a movie with the fam. Thanks you guys! :)

We had such a great Christmas and are so lucky that we were able to spend two whole weeks with family! I love that Tyler's family does some of the same traditions that my family did while growing up. It helps it to feel even more like home to me.
I am so grateful to have such a wonderful family (on both sides)! I am glad that I married such a great man who has the same beliefs as me. We are grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ, and for the life that he lived. We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
