Christmas morning!

Christmas was quite the experience this year! Dawson has been BEGGING for a puppy since before Halloween and we've just been feeling terrible for him. Jason swore from day one that we would probably NEVER own a dog- which was heartbreaking for me, because we always had a dog growing up. Well, over the last few weeks, Dawson has been saying he was going to ask Santa Clause for a dog because he bring everything you ask for...well, low and behold, this morning his dream came true and we are now the happy owners of a little Morkie (pure bread mix of a Maltese & Yorkie.) His name is Dash and he is the sweetest little thing ever! We've had a fun day holding him and playing with him...and making sure accidents don't happen.

Carter likes to watch Food Network with me and LOVES to cook on the grill with Daddy. So it wasn't totally shocking when he asked for a kitchen. He also asked Santa for "a bucket of cars." He got a huge carrying case full of 50 hot wheels and a sweet kitchen- grill included! He has made lots of pretend hot dogs and hamburgers today!

Our families spoiled us. End of story. We are so blessed and we love our parents for being so great to us and our kids. From the Evil Doctor Porkchop, clothes, toys and lots of hugs and kisses, we are lucky and fortunate people. We are so thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and this time of year that we have to reflect on the blessings and joys of this life. Thank you family (and friends) for all the fun, gifts and love!
