Christmas Day

Christmas morning was magical as we woke up to fresh falling snow!  It was a really good storm, enough that they cancelled Sacrament Meeting.  Wes and I enjoyed looking out the window and eating breakfast until Colton and Karlee and Livi came down for Clint's Skype!


























It was awesome to talk to Clint!  He had a wonderful Christmas.  He even got to make sugar cookies on Christmas Eve. Christmas morning the missionaries were all treated to breakfast and stockings and gifts at the Fosters.  He Skyped us after church at his Bishop's house and we had a fantastic visit.  It was so great to see his face and hear his voice!  In between Skypes, Karlton went home and we opened our gifts, and Wes did some snowblowing.


















































Later in the afternoon we got to Skype with Kori and it was super fun to talk to her too.  It would have been nice for our two missionaries to have been able to coordinate and talk to each other, but for us, it was fun to make the Skyping last all day!  Kori had a lot of fun with her Brazilian friends and they liked watching us on the screen too.  They oohed and ahhed at our snow and they waved at us and were so cute.  One of them told Kori "your family has a lot of cookies because your dad has been eating cookies this whole time."  Bahaha!  Kori is happy in Brazil and loves serving there.  Wes and I winded down the day with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on DVD.  It was a lovely Christmas.  We are grateful for our family near and far, grateful that we could talk to our missionaries and have Colton's family celebrate with us, and always grateful for our Savior whom we celebrate on this day, for his atonement and example. Merry Christmas everyone!
