Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you had a great Christmas with loved ones and friends! Our Christmas was wonderful, one of the best! We got to stay home this year which meant we got to watch Maleah and Kaitlyn open their presents here at our own home. It was so much fun, Maleah didn't get the whole Santa thing, until she saw all the presents. As soon as she saw the tree she said "Santa really did bring me presents" haha it was so cute! Her and Kaitlyn both had a blast opening their Santa presents. My mom and dad came down to watch and then we had a Christmas breakfast.
After was hurried and got ready and then headed down to my mom and dad's house. We had a huge yummy dinner and then opened more presents. We were spoiled, thank you mom and dad! This Christmas was so nice and warm and peaceful. It was so nice to be able to remember Christ and his birth, his life, and the sacrifices he made for us. I love that everyone is trying to be more like Jesus this time of the year!

OUR VISIT TO THE TRUJILLO'S HOME!
One of the members from Clay's mission was able to come to Logan on a student visa. Because of new government rules in Venezuela she has to go home next week. So we made the trip to Logan on Thursday to visit her before she leaves. She has been staying with one of Clays companions from his mission. We got to visit with them and we had a really good time at their home. Anna Trujillo and Dulce Gutierrez (the member girl from clay's mission) made us a traditional Venezuelan Christmas dinner. The food was great, they were all speaking Spanish the whole time which was overwhelming for me, but it was fun to listen to Clay talk to them. It was fun to meet some of the people that knew Clay during his mission. They were so warm and inviting to our family. We had a wonderful time with them, I am sad that Dulce has to leave, and we can't visit her again.
