Christmas at the Millers!!!

Merry Christmas to all!! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!! I know we sure did!! We spent Christmas with Jared's family in Jerome, and it was so fun!! Jared had to work Monday Tuesday and half a day on Christmas Eve! That was a bummer but at least he didnt have to work all day!! We left Rexburg around 1, and we made a detour to Twin Falls (Jared hadnt even started his Christmas shopping yet and I had to finish mine because I chickend out of soem of the presents I got him and decided to get something better =>) We finally made it to the Millers around 5:15p and then started the festivities!! The big event there is Christmas Eve dinner and events thereafter. They decorated the kitchen table so elegantly and the plate treats were just adorable! We ate dinner by candlelight, sang Happy Birthday to Jesus, watched "Joy to the World" and read scriptures! It was very fun and Christ oriented, which is how it should be! => On Christmas day we woke up around 8:30 and casually got ready to open presents => I think this was the most relaxed Christmas morning I have ever had in my life!! With no kids, things go pretty easy-going and slow paced! => After we opened all our wonderful presents we just lounged around and played games with the family. It was so much fun!!
