This year its been hard for me to get into the spirit of CHRISTmas. So I started off with going to the temple the week of. Later that week, my family put together a few baskets filled with presents, a christmas dinner that includes a turkey, potatoes, rolls, vegies, fruit, and dessert. It was so fun and a tear jerker when we dropped those baskets off the the needful families. We know how that feels. We were struggling the past two years before Dave started his career. So its nice to be on the other side of the spectrum. But ill tell you, it is very humbling and I look at christmas much differently now.
This year for christmas eve we stayed at my parents house And played games, watched movies, and started a new tradition, a Jerusalem dinner. It was fun the more we look back at it. It was embarassing at first, all of us dressing like Mary and Joseph. Then we ate meat and fresh fruit and vegetables with our hands, and drank "wine". Then my dad told us the story we all know about sweet baby Jesus and gave us facts about back then and such. It was really a nice evening.
Christmas morning started at 6:30 at the McCashlands house. We opened our presents. Dave got Firefly, sports 2 for kinect, pj's, pants, shirts, a hoodie, socks, gloves, thermal stuff for work, gift cards, deoderant, sheets, and of course nerf guns and an ipad case for the new ipad. I got new jeans, lots of cute shirts, 3 purses, a wonderful day with dave full of shopping and pedicures, gift cards, workout clothes and a gym membership, a season of glee, a dance centfal kinect game, a beautiful ring (il have to post a pic when it comes back from being cleaned), church shoes, and the cutest picture frame and a picture of ali and my dog.
Then we went to daves parents house at 9:30 to open presents (thanks mom and dad for the oil, shampoo, my shirt and a garmin nuvi 1450 LMT gps) and go to church with there family. After we went to one side of daves family where we had lunch and a white elephant game. It was such a blast. The to the other side where we visited then left to make an early night of it. Visiting lots of people is very fun, but also tireding. I hope you all had a fantastic christmas. Love you all, Hannah and David Xoxo
