Merry Christmas

I realize that the quality of these pictures is horendous, I think it may be time for Brett and I to invest in a camera that takes descent pictures indoors or maybe I should take a picture taking class and learn how to use the cameras we do have. :)

On Christmas Eve eve we visited my grandparents in Logan. My grandma has recently had a couple of back surgeries so it was good to see them. Brooklyn loved playing with their little Shih tzo Cricket.

We celebrated Christmas Eve at Brett's parents. It was a pretty quiet night since both Brett's sister's family stayed in California and his brother was in Bear Lake with his wife's family. But, we had a fabulous dinner with his parent's and grandma and opened presents.



On Christmas morning we met my granddad in the valley and went to my parents sacrament then went to their house for a yummy breakfast, presents and indoor snowball fight.




I am so grateful for my family and friends and especially my Heavenly Father and Brother Jesus this holiday season. I got so spoiled and sometimes I don't think I deserve everything I got or have, but because I have so much I feel that I have a greater obligation to be better wife, a better neighbor, a better mom, a better friend, a better daughter and daughter in law, a better sister and sister in law, aunt cousin, sunbeam teacher...and the list goes on. I am so grateful to those who have lifted me up when I've been down, gave me motivation to keep pressing forward when I thought I couldn't go anymore, welcomed me and made me feel loved, made me laugh when I felt like crying, and reminded me that every moment of everyday is special and that I should cherish each stage in my life whether its hard, sad, happy, or fun.

To everyone I know, Thanks for being a part of my life!

Christmas as a Miller

We had a great Christmas this year (as we always do), but this one was extra special because we got to celebrate it with Brooklyn. We surprisingly didn't have any family Christmas parties on either side of our families this year, but Christmas Eve Eve, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day were filled with fun activities, parties, family, and food!

We made gingerbread houses...

Visited Cousin's...
Met new cousin's for the first time...

I didn't get any pictures of Christmas Eve, but every year we go to Brett's parents for dinner and a game of Chicken Foot. This year we also threw in a game of "Curses", which was hilarious to play with his 83 year old grandma. Also, Brett's sister and her family flew in from California to celebrate Christmas in Utah. This is a picture of Brooklyn meeting her cousin Ava for the first time. They are only 4 months apart so we are so excited to get them together to play when they get a little older.

Visited more cousins...

There were 5 of us who had babies from May to October in Brett's family. Don't ask me what I was doing with Brooklyn's poor little head. I guess I thought "all the other babies can hold their head up, why cant she?" haha
Spent time with Papa Young...

...and with family!

It doesn't get any better than that!
