Sara's 1st Christmas

Well, I'm sad to say the holidays are over, but we had a blast this year. There was plenty of Christmas shopping, Christmas music, Christmas parties, Christmas lights, Christmas decorations, Christmas presents and Christmas traditions. Some of my favorite traditions are the annual Walker Christmas Party where Santa comes, Grandma Betty's Grandkid party where all her great grandkids go to her house to decorate sugar cookies and recieve gifts. I also love my family Christmas party that we have every year on the eve of Christmas eve. They always do something different every year, like last year we went and saw the lights at Temple Square and went on a carriage ride, and this year we all took a ride on the Polar Express in Heber. Another one of my favorite traditions is getting together with Ryan's family on Christmas Eve to open up Christmas jammies. It isn't the easiest living in Bear Lake and wanting to see your family and friends every weekend for the Holidays but we managed to make it to our annual Christmas Dinner Club, Walker Christmas Party, Christmas dinner at Grandma Betty's, Grandma Betty's Grandkids Christmas, The Christensen Christmas Party, The Goodrich Christmas Eve Party, and Grandma Goodrich and Garrett's this season. Sara obviously doesn't really know what's going on but it was still fun for us. She got to meet Santa for the first time at the Walker Christmas party, then again on the Polar Express! She wasn't too sure the first time she sat on his lap, and didn't really know what was going on the second time. But of course we had to get pictures. Just taking in every minute of her first Christmas. I just want to say thanks to everyone for all the gifts we recieved. It really was so much fun! As most of you know I have 3 brothers, 3 sisters and 13 neices and nephews just on my side. It makes getting together with family that much more fun. I love my big family and someday want to have a big family of my own that I can throw crazy Christmas parties for. We still go to the our annual Walker Christmas Party where there's 1 Grandma, 7 Aunts, 7 Uncles, and over 100 cousins and I love it! I hope my parents will continue to throw their Christmas Party even when they are old and have that many Grandkids and Great Grandkids :) I need to get a picture one of these years 'cause it really is crazy. Oh! and... Tanner's back! My little bro is home from his mission. He got home just in time for Christmas and it was one of the best Christmas gifts ever! Tanner and I have always been so close and I've missed him so much since he's been gone, so I'm glad he's back. Welcome Home Tanty!
