Christmas Highlights



I'm so embarrassed that it took so long to post our few Christmas pictures...but hey, we're busy college students. Ben and I started a fun tradition this year of reading in our 24 Days of Christmas book. Every night before we went to bed we'd read the scripture, sing the song, and read the story that went along with that day. We had our own little Christmas party just for the two of us on the 19th before we went to Salt Lake to spend Christmas with our families. (That's what all the treats were for!)
We went with Melinda's family on Christmas Eve (actually, the night before Christmas Eve) out to dinner and a movie and then exchanged sibling gifts. It was fun because we had a new family member included this year! (yay, Ashley!) Then on the real Christmas Eve we exchanged sibling gifts with the Christensens. We spent Christmas Eve wrapping gifts with the Christensens and then got up with them on Christmas morning. We also got to attend part of the McMullin party before heading to the Johnsons to celebrate the rest of the day with them. We had a great time with them playing Christmas Trivial Pursuit and eating dinner with the grandmas. Even though it was sad not to have the traditional Johnson/Healy/Mumford Christmas party, we started some fun new traditions. Hopefully next year we'll get to have our salmon with the holiday glaze. ;)
