We had a great Christmas in Mesa. It was wonderful to spend so much time with family and friends. I felt like I got three days of Christmas--the Sunday before was full of great music, then was Christmas Eve with helping Mom prepare the huge family dinner, then Christmas day with sleeping in and presents.
Christmas Day also brought a special experience--Mom and Dad had a few of their young adults over for brunch. One was an investigator and we got to talk all about the church and our beliefs. What better way to spend Christmas Day than sharing the beauty and happiness of the Gospel! It was great!
We did a lot of relaxing and just hanging around. We were very grateful to Grandma Reid for watching Bekah a few times so that Malcom and I could go out. Ahhhh, so nice!
Another exciting thing that happened is that Malcom's parents moved into a new house, only half a mile away from my parents! They're actually in the same ward now (except that Dad's in the bishopric of the singles ward). Malcom helped them move and the new place is starting to come together.
Here are some pictures of the fun times.
CHRISTMAS EVE: Mitchell and Tucker spread "reindeer food" on the lawn, Gary and Malcom sleep, and Bekah watches the action while kicking off her sock (only one sock of course!).
CHRISTMAS DAY: Bekah really likes her new kitty cat--she chews on its little ears all the time! She loves it almost as much as her bottle! Also, the yearly family picture next to the Christmas Tree.
FAMILY TIME: A crazy game of Settlers of Catan (Amy won--congrats!), the cousins hang out, Cooper poses for lots of pictures, and Grandma enjoys her little girl.

Becka is getting so chubby! I missed seeing her for Christmas, but it looks like you guys had a great one! Did you get bangs Lindsey or did you always have them?
