The Real Christmas 2012 Post

So I didn't do this Christmas justice in my last lame post.

This was one of the best Christmases I have ever had.

One reason I think is because last year I was waiting to give birth to Truman and have no remembrance of it it at all!

Another reason is because I can honestly say that I whole-heartedly tried to focus on the Savior and His birth this season. I made that focus for my family as well.

Another reason is because I truly felt the sacrifice of my family who drove soooooo far to be with us!

We laughed and ate and played games and just soaked each other up!

Truman's Gorilla Crawl

It's an Easton in a Box!

The boys with my mom.

She really puts forth a huge effort

to spend time with them and I am so grateful!

There were a lot of people... thus a lot of gifts!

Christmas Morning!

The boys painted Lela some water color pictures

and framed them for their gift to her!

The Bow and Arrows they got!

Much of the time was spent preparing and

eating delicious food!

But the best was when the men had a Cajun Vision

at 11 p.m. and looked up a reciept on line and

cooked it together! It was adorable and hilarious!

I am so glad my boys got to spend some time with my Lela!

I am just so grateful for my family!

When they leave I feel a big hole and it takes a while for the pain to lessen.

I LOVE you Herrington's!

Thank you for such a wonderful Christmas!
