Mom sleeping
Presents under the tree
Simon got me an English Christmas movie called Arthur Christmas- this is a snapshot of the beginning... my mom and I really enjoyed it

A little blurry, but our Christmas crackers
The feast- roasted chicken, carrots, swede, yorkshire pudding, mash, stuffing, and gravy... it was so good!!!

Later in the day my side of the family skyped us and we were able to watch them open presents. Everyone was there except those of us in England. I am so grateful for technology! Here are some pictures from skype:
Jeff, Kira, Jeffrey, Kylie, and a piece of Phoebe

Simon dying because skyping my family is crazy business
It was so wonderful to chat with family. I know being with family always helps me feel the true spirit of Christmas better in my life. I love my family and I am grateful that I get to be with them forever because of the birth and sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ. I am especially grateful for Simon and all that he does for me and our little family. I don't believe in soul mates, but I couldn't have married a better man. He may not be perfect, but he has been the best for me.
Hopefully we will be able to catch up with Simon's family today as well. We can't wait to talk with them too!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE TODAY (AND EVERYDAY)!
We missed you guys! But it was good to Skype with you while we opened presents. I'm glad you had a good Christmas, and I cannot wait for when I come in January!!!!!!
