Baby's First Christmas


We had such a fun Christmas. Having a baby makes it that much better - Aurora was so fun and happy while we celebrated with family. She is forsure the best present we got!! The Latimer side of the family gathered at Natalie and Bucks house for our Christmas Eve tradition of eating the best food ever, opening presents, and playing Bingo. Buck and Natalie had our family and spoiled us by making us a grandfathers clock that is gorgeous, and they got aurora a princess blanket with sleeping beauty! We slept out at my Mom and Dad's house with Lars, Nicki, Allie, and Baby Brooke. We don't have a chimney and they have two so we made it easier for santa to come. Christmas morning was exciting Aurora, Allie, and Brooke opened their presents from santa. Aurora impressed us by wripping off the bows to her gifts. We exchanged family gifts.. I got a new camera - yay. We spent most the day playing Lars' wii - I am not a fan of nintendo - i only like the really old school one that has Mario 1 - but the wii is the greatest invention made it was hilarious watching my mom play tennis and my dad box!
That evening we drove to Lindon to be with the Reed's. Aurora was so happy to be with more loved ones - we played lots of games and opened more gifts.
We are so grateful for our families and the fun we have with them. The greatest gift of all is knowing through our Savior we can be with them forever.
