Christmas Day

Because Jon had a rotation to do during the
holidays we stayed home for Christmas this year. Jon's family was able to come out and visit which helped the holidays not seem too lonely, especially while Jon was working. I don't think Benjamin knew what was going on except that there were lots of presents under the tree that he couldn't open until Christmas morning and that he got to eat candy for breakfast that same day. Ben was spoiled, of course, by his grandparents and Santa. He got many toys including and ironing board. We went out to eat at the Cracker Barrel with Grandma and
Grandpa Andreas and Billy on Christmas Eve for breakfast. Grandma Andreas saw this cute ironing board. She thought that Ben had to have it and when he started playing with it at the store she knew he had to have it. So it is now sitting by our ironing board in the basement and when someone begins to iron he starts to iron on his ironing board. I guess you start them young so when they are older they will be able to iron their own shirts on their mission and when they are married. We had a great Christmas with lots of presents, food, family, and fun. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Andreas, Billy, Genny and Murillo, Sabrina, Grandpa Wood, Carolyn, Natalie, and Nicolas for coming. It was wonderful to have you come and celebrate this wonderful holiday and thank you for spoiling us.
