Best Gifts

This Christmas we received some of the most thoughtful gifts:

Gift of Friendship
These people came to visit us!  All the way from California!  And we love them so much for it.
















Gift of Memories:

My mom gave my girls a binder full of stories from when I was a little girl.  They are priceless!  Sierra and Skyla, ever since they were little, were always asking for stories about when I was little and now they have them recorded forever.  She also made Karsten a bag full of Book of Mormon hero figurines with a handmade book of their stories.  It has transformed our sacrament meetings!  He loves to play with them and I'm thrilled that he's learning about these great men.


Gift of Opportunity:

Hymas' gave us, as well as all of David's brothers and sisters, $100 - but with a catch.  The catch is we have to spend that money on somebody (family NOT included) else.  We get to decide how to help someone!  We are so excited by this.  Next Christmas we have to all report on what we did with this hundred dollars. 

Gift of Culture:
Our dear friends in Berkeley sent us these beautiful Mongolian traditional clothes.  They came to California from Mongolia and we loved so much getting to know them while we lived in Berkeley.  We will treasure these beautiful outfits.

We definitely feel...
