Christmas and New Year

We had a lot of fun for Christmas. This was the first year that we spent Christmas morning at home. It was so nice to have the kids get up and then we all went out and saw what Santa brought. The kids opened their presents and then they could open the packages that the presents were in and play with the toys without having to worry about losing pieces at other places. It was great. Later we went to The Carter's and had a fun Christmas there. Jared was so excited about his present that he had to go home right then to set it up. I have never seen him so excited about a gift. After a couple days at The Carter's we went to The Reeder's. We had a lot of fun there too. Jared got to try out his gun there and it was fun seeing a lot of family. One of my cousins was coming home from his mission and a lot of extended family was there. We also celebrated Ben's birthday while we were there. I can't believe he is two. Then we went back to Carter's until New Year's and then came home. What a busy holiday. Well, you will have to wait for the pictures. While we were in DisneyWorld, Ben got a hold of my camera and destroyed the shutter over the lens. We ended up taking pictures with an old film camera. We haven't had a chance to develop the pictures yet.
