Christmas in Kentucky!

We loved having Christmas in Kentucky @ Karl's house. We loved how they make us feel a part of the family. We loved going to church on Christmas with them. We loved our Christmas gifts from them. We loved Carson for giving up his bed and room for us. We loved getting to play volleyball and dodgeball. We loved getting out of the car for a few days. We loved that they fed us, clothes us with pajamas, and even showed us how to cut letters with a jigsaw. We loved that Santa always finds you no matter where you are. We loved that we got this beyond awesome train set from a neighbor in Lehi who gave it to me to give to Gracie for Christmas. We loved the true spirit of Christmas that was there. We loved reading scriptures by candlelight every night. We loved having fun with them. And we love that Christ-like charity is what we are all striving for.

We did not love the extra stress we put on them (notice the pictures of how tired Karl was - please note, he just graduated from dental school, woo woo!). We did not love leaving except to get to SC and see our new home. We did not love that we missed making these awesome gingerbread houses from saved Halloween candy. We are going to have to add some of their traditions to ours. :) Thanks Chandler fam for a very merry Christmas memory.
