Christmas Day!

Christmas was a little different this year! Chris was supposed to be home this year but work has been a little crazy so he had to stay out in Wyoming over Chritmas. I was so sad cuz we were so excited for Christmas with Annistyn! Anyway I hated thinking of Chris being alone for Christmas so I thought I would drive up there the day after and open Presents with him then!......But my amazing family decided we would ALL drive up to Wyoming on Christmas to be with Chris! So we contacted the Bishop up there and he let us spend Christmas morning in a church up there!
It was crazy we were watching the weather every hour and we planned out the time that we would miss the storms! So we left at 2 AM on Christmas Eve and drove through the night! The weather was good but scary at times. We got there at about 7:30 in the morning. We went in and laid out a lot of sleeping bags and broughT in the presents. My mom had cooked her yummy cinnamon rolls earlier and she warmed them up in the oven and we had Hot Chocolate ready! Chris had no idea we were coming and I called and told him I was here and to come to the church! Then when he drove up he saw three cars and our WHOLE family waiting there for him! It was so amazing! He was speechless! How grateful we are to have an amazing family that will do anything to make sure everyone in our family was happy on Christmas Day! Love you guys!
I love this time of year! I love that everyone is focused on serving others and giving! And how lucky we are to have such a big event and day set a side to celebrate our Savior! We spent two hours with Chris and then we had to get on the road to beat the next storm home! I can't believe we made it! The weather was pretty scary in some spots! Thanks to all who drove and stayed awake for 24 Hours! Well pretty much all of us!
