We really didnt get any pics of Christmas this year! The camera is still broken, its sad but luckily BJ got a few pics from his phone! We spent Christmas with Bj's parents in St George and had a great time playing outside and being around all our family.
We had a simple Christmas this year. I was worried the boys would feel sad that they didnt get any BIG impressive gifts. But they didnt even notice! Cooper got a few puzzles and of course some Star Wars action figures. And he played and played with those puzzles!
Spencer was so excited because he got a set of Army guys and Star Wars action figures. I loved watching him put those different army men all over the trees and under rocks. He set up so many detailed "battles!"
There wasnt crazy present mania because they got just enough to play and enjoy each toy.
Graham would have been happy with one thing. He just wanted to sit with Papa and hold his fire truck!!
I really learned something this year. It truly doesn't matter whether you spend 50 (that what we spent on each kid this year) or 500. They are so excited that Santa came and that they have a few new things. I want to remember this in the years to come When we arent in school and (hopefully) have a little more to spend.
When you over do it Christmas becomes about the THINGS and the AMOUNT. And gosh thats so fun to get things but I want my boys to remember moments like this....
And find joy in simple things. Be grateful for each gift and appreciate what really matters.
Merry Christmas!

Cute pics! Get that camera fixed though - that's what warranty's are for!
