Christmas Eve: Our Lunch with Santa

We were lucky to go to lunch with Santa even though he had a very busy night ahead of him. It was important for us to go because Brynnlee has been so afraid of him!

Our Gratitude Tree

This year we wanted to teach Brynnlee about gratitude. We started a "Gratitude Tree" Family Home Evening tradition. When she said she was thankful for Heavenly Father and Jesus, I just wanted to squeeze her. What a great girl!
