Christmas Day.

Christmas Day was a lot like Christmas Eve.

Very relaxing and low key.

But we enjoyed every minute of it.

Olivia was so excited about everything and loved each one of her gifts.

Clara on the other hand had no interest in anything that was going on. Which is why this year we tried to not get a lot of toys but instead games and learning activities that we could all do together.

Since Michael has a new obsession with cooking I just had to get him a Gordon Ramsey cooking book.

And he was beyond thrilled.

My grandparents came over and that was a treat in and of itself.

My grandma gave my mom a picture of herself for Christmas.

I won't go into detail but I absolutely have to remember that!

Our favorite part of the day was talking to Emerson for hours.

I know a lot of missionaries have time limits but luckily Emerson's mission president gave them permission to talk to their families for as long as they wanted as long as the members whose house they were at were okay with it.

Yay!

Emerson is doing so well. I really need to dedicate a post just to him. 

And as sad as it was to say goodbye, we knew that we would be seeing him in just two short months!

So it wasn't too bad :)

Michael was also able to talk to Matthew as well who is serving in Brazil finally. 

We have been so blessed to have two brothers serving. They have such strong testimonies and definitely have helped strengthen ours.

But, we will be grateful when they're back home with us :)

And finally, our other favorite part of Christmas was all opening up a little green bag together (Emerson was on skype) and finding out that we would be going to Cancun in May!

Here are a few pictures of our day.

La vida es fresca forsure!
