We took turns opening a package, carefully reading cards, looking at beautiful artwork from adorable children and feeling the warmth of love, home and gratitude fill our little apartment! There was a lot of smiling, holding hands and even some laughing until we cried. There were also a few tears shed as homesickness got the best of us....but that didn't last long and was quickly replaced by an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for the blessings in our lives.

We received several vinyl sayings to cover some of our bare walls, ensign subscription and some impossible to find 'comfort' items... the postage was outrageous but so appreciated!!! These people look like they need some sleep or maybe just toughen up a little bit!! These smiling faces decorated our tree...well most of them are smiling! I believe even the newest 'Anderton' is smiling too but the ultra sound just didn't get the right angle!  |

| We were able to add a few new photos to my "Fridge of Fame"...Love all those dear faces! It was certainly a different Christmas but one that we will always remember. We somehow felt closer to our family, to each other and especially to our Savior. Christmas 2015 was a great one! |
