Christmas 2015

We simplified a bit w four gifts--something you want, need, wear & read. Sant brought the wants--the boys got now & arrows! So cool! 

Another new tradition is the boys pulled names for each other. It was a secret & they worked all week doing jobs to earn money to buy gifts for each other! It was so fun! The week before we did jobs to earn money to help a family in our Ward. It really was so good to see the boys work hard. They went shopping with us & helped pick out food & clothes for the baby. They started to see how fast money goes away. New traditions we'll keep up!
I surprised Jas w a very daring gift--a mountain bike! It went  w a hitch or 29.... Rough morning w me putting the wheels on backwards & not getting pedals๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿ˜‚ so there were tears & after a long shower I felt better. Jas & the boys had to try the bows out before leaving. 

Sweet Jas said a prayer be he knew I was upset & he was able to see the bike differently & fix it!thank goodness for prayers!
We went to Gma & Gpas for the yummy breakfast & famous cinnamon rolls. Something new this year is the boys helped put on s puppet show of The Nativity--good Addition! Christmas afternoon brought another surprise...
