Christmas

Well Christmas has come and gone once again. It always sneaks up so fast and is over even faster. The Shelton family had a wonderful Christmas this year. My mom was able to come home from Pioneer Valley Rehab Christmas Eve morning, so we were able to have her with us for it. It seemed that this year, lots of traditions got skipped and things because there was so much craziness on both sides of our family. But we did get to spend Christmas morning with Steve's family where we almost got snowed in! The snow in South Jordan was nuts! Mostly because of the wind blowing it up like crazy!






Noah had a lot of fun playing with the new puppy at grandma's and grandpa's house until she bit his big bottom lip. Poor little guy...that was just about the saddest we've ever seen him. It was so sad...it was almost like it hurt his feelings more than it physically hurt.









We spent the afternoon back at home opening our own presents. Noah didn't really realize what was going on at first, but once he started opening one he wanted to open everything with wrapping paper on it. Last year he was just over a month old so being 13 and 1/2 months this year was a lot of fun. He got lots of new toys from grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles and of course from Santa too.














Then we spent the rest of the evening at our older brother Stan's house with almost all of Larae's family. Except mom and dad. They had to stay home this year with mom's new hip. It was strange for everyone to not have them there. But it was a great holiday this year. We hope that all of our family and friends had a wonderful Christmas as well! We are so grateful for our Savior's birth and our family and friends. These 3 things are what make Christmas so wonderful every year!
