We have the luxury of having most of our family close, but that makes for a lot of Christmases to attend! This year just happened to be Owen's first Christmas as well! We had a lot of fun but all of us were pretty exhausted after all was said and done! (It doesn't take much with an 11-month old and a pregnant mama!) We celebrated with both extended family and immediate family but the furthest we had to drive was Ames! We received and gave away presents but Christmas is about the ultimate gift. The Savior of the world was born. He was fully God but came to earth to die a painful death so that I may overcome death through my belief in Jesus Christ. I know it is easy to get caught up in gifts, traditions and schedules (I do too!) but we need to stay focused on the real reason we celebrate Christmas!
