On A Whim: Merry Christmas

We had a fabulous Christmas this year. We were able to spend time with both families, meet up with Santa, go to Temple Square and see the lights, eat way too much amazing food, play in the snow, spend time with Shane and so much more! It was wonderful!

We were lucky enough to stay up in Alpine with the Pack family for a week. The girls loved being with Kylie and Dan and Halie and Ryan....well honestly they really loved Dan and Ryan the most because they chased them around all week. Sorry Aunties, they love you too :) We had a great time on Christmas Eve wearing our matching Jammies and reading the Christmas Story. There is nothing like reminding ourselves the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas morning we started in on the presents and had a great time being all together as an entire Pack family. We then headed to my parents house for more presents and then to dinner with my Shepherd family. It was such a nice Christmas Day! We were SO happy to have Johnny here with us for Christmas. It was really neat to be with both full families for Christmas, a true gift! The girls made out great this year and it was so fun to see their pure excitement in what they got and gratitude towards those who gave it to them! It was great. Lynn and Janice gave Shane the most amazing present. A trip to Houston. He can tell you more about that!

We then got to spend time with my family and brother. It was a lot of fun. A lot of card games, treats and family videos! Sadly I have none from spending time with my fam....hopefully someone took some :)

All in all we felt truly blessed this year. We have beautiful babies, great families and health. When it comes to the essentials in life there's really not too much to complain about. We hope you all had a wonderful Holiday season. I have too many pictures and I am sorry if I have posted too many :)
