This year we stayed at home for Christmas. It was nice to have my parents & brother come for Christmas Eve and day. I have been busy baking pecan tassies, peanut butter cups and truffles. There is nothing like smelling the baked goods at home, visiting with neighbors & exchanging gifts during the holidays. I love Christmas time!!! The Saturday after Thanksgiving we went up Manti canyon and cut down our Christmas tree. It is a fun tradition Jeremy and I both have had from childhood. 
Christmas morning at our house.

My father made Brielle this beautiful rocking horse which looks just like the one he had as a child.
Brielle only had eyes for the kitchen Santa brought her. She didn't have any interest in the other gifts and toys until later that day.
We spent the morning playing with our gifts as well before heading to Grandma Kone's for lunch.
The holidays have been so nice, especially after our earlier events that week. It has been fun to visit with family, play games, eat yummy food and even have a white Christmas. We hope your Christmas was very Merry and that your New Year will be a good one!!
