Christmas

our Christmas holiday was a crazy busy one, but a very wonderful one! we are lucky enough to have both of our families right here in town but that means that we have lots of Christmas celebrations to attend! it's so fun to be all together but it does get exhausting going from one event to the next. but i'm so glad we do not have to pick and choose which side of the family we will be with.... it works out great! the day before Christmas Eve we have a dinner and gift exchange with the Hutchings....lots of little cousins! my family has always done Christmas Eve/my mom's birthday. it varies from year to year what exactly we do but there is always yummy food, lots of family, white elephant, and gift exchanges! Christmas morning is spent just the two of us which i LOVE! and this year since brian worked until 7am Christmas day he stayed home and slept while i went to the schimpf's for a delicious breakfast! Later we all go to grandma and grandpa's and have a big dinner and gift exchange with all the schimpf family. it all makes for a busy few days full of baking, eating, and family but i wouldn't have it any other way! i couldn't imagine Christmas without all the festivities and family... it just wouldn't be the same! i'm so looking forward to when we have little kiddos of our own to bring alive the magic of Christmas in our own home and to teach them about the birth of the Savior!
