Me with my beautiful sisters. :)
...what?!
My parents love taking pictures of us :)
The best part of Christmas was being able to be back with my family. After pictures, my Grandma and Grandpa Curtis, Great Grandma Cutler, and Aunt Holly came for dinner, which was delicious. (Turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, corn, stuffing, sweet potatoes, jello, crab salad, and chocolate pie. yummmm)
I also loved being able to go to church on Christmas. There is no greater gift to give our Savior, and no better way to feel the true spirit of the season. May we all remember why we celebrate Christmas in the first place.
