When I look back on Christmas 2011 I'll remember it as a really sad Christmas (more on why later...), but I hope E&A will remember it as happy and magical. Santa and our families were so generous this year and we did a lot of fun things. The Radio City Christmas Spectacular was oh so spectacular, A.Soleil and I could have stared at the "spawkly" Bergdorf Goodman windows all night, and our Santaland Santa was very sweet and patient. Our fondue feast and nativity on Christmas Eve with our friendily (<--friends that are really family), plus the crepes on Christmas morning made us feel all warm and homey inside. That's what tradition does, it grounds you and makes you feel love. Having an hour of church on Christmas day was a blessing. My sadness was lifted for a moment when my friend spoke about memories. It made me realize the memories and traditions I'm creating for my children are incredibly important.
I hope E&A remember all that we did to make their Christmas good. The joy still bursting from their little faces makes me think we succeeded. This Christmas would have been the worst without those little faces. I love them a lot.

I hope you'll have good memories from Christmas 2011.

Oh Abbie, Dan and I hope all is okay with you and your little family. Sadness is always felt for me around Christmas as my Dad passed away on Dec 22nd 5 yrs ago. I hope life brightens up for you. I loved having Sacrament Meeting on Christmas also. It really helped bring in the true spirit of Christmas. As always you have some amazing photos to remember Christmas by.
I love this! Tradition really does bring family closeness and love. We love you, Abbie!
