Well, this is the first time we've spent Christmas outside of Utah and really far away from family. I like to be close to family so I was a little sad and i had this feeling that something was missing. We had a good Christmas. The kids enjoyed opening their presents. Santa brought some nice gifts for them. Daniel told me after he opened all of his gifts that this was the best Christmas Ever. John and I believe that Santa did a good job this year (like every other year). We had the chance to talk with Veronica and Brian on Skype. We had the opportunity to open all of our gifts together. It was pretty neat. We went to church and the program was really nice. You could feel the spirit so strong. It made me think: What is the reason for Christmas? We celebrate the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ. We remember how much heavenly father loves us that he sent his son to Earth. That's the greatest gift we have in our life.
