As soon as we finished our Christmas Morning celebration, we hopped in the car and headed to West Jordan to spend the next couple of days with the Peaden Family. There was much present opening, treat eating, game playing, and quality-time-spending. We are so grateful to be able to spend Christmas with these people that we love and who wholeheartedly love and support us. I think that one of the greatest gifts of our life is how well we get along with each other's families. When I am at the Peaden home, I do not feel like an in-law, I feel like a cherished part of the family unit and I hope David feels the same. This is especially notable during the holidays when we truly want to be with our extended families.
We love it here. Love this home, love this family.
Lydia has been asking for a robot dog for years. When it was still the first item on her Christmas list this year and I saw it come on sale for Black Friday we decided we should do it. She will eventually grow out of this stage and the fact that this is still the thing she wanted most of all is really really sweet. She's loved learning to play with "Bailey".
These family pictures we took in October look even more gorgeous blown up on canvas. What a treasure.
We had a wonderful couple of days together. Canasta tournaments, nertz battles, and laughter-and-bruise filled rounds of Santa Cookie Elf Candy Snowman.
Merry Christmas to these wonderful Peadens. (and Renchers).
