This was the best Christmas ever! That's a pretty bold statement, but we just had the best time this year. Maybe we are biased, because this was our first Christmas married, but really it was so much fun. We decorated our tree Star Wars style, made delicious and fancy chocolate covered pretzels, had a visit from Santa himself, went caroling up in Evanston, played the dice-game present exchange, listened to some sweet Christmas music on the radio (basically the same 4 songs on every one of the stations it seemed like, but it was still fun), read the Christmas story from Luke chapter 2, Helaman 14:5, 3 Nephi 1:21, woke up and surprised each other with our gifts, made a nice big breakfast, went to a movie (The curious Case of Benjamin Button), and finally enjoyed a bunch of evening snow. Couldn't have been more perfect. Here are some sweet pictures for your visual enjoyment:
We made some really tasty chocolate covered pretzels.
Then Santa came to town. I asked him for world peace. We'll see if he can come through this year.
We treated the nice people of Evanston with our great voices. We also realized we don't really know the words to the majority of Christmas songs.
Here we are enjoying our gifts. Can you guess who got what?
