DaHeads: Rayna is 10 months old!

Christmas season is upon us. It is so exciting. I just love this time of year. All the excitement getting gifts for loved ones and the anticipation of seeing family. This past year has been very good to us. We were blessed with Rayna in our lives. We are so thankful for her every day. She brings so much joy to our home and to our family. We are so excited to see what she will think of Christmas. We know that she will not remember it but it is still important to start teaching her the importance and meaning of Christmas. I love it when we talked about Jesus she gets this look of understanding or like she knows him. Its weird and hard to explain. She loves saying hi to his picture we have hanging in our home.

Jeff and I were able to attend his work Christmas party at the Sickle Sky Box. It was pretty fancy. There was sushi and an open bar. We got all dressed up and got our pictures taken. We had a great time. There was dancing and prime rib for dinner. Yum. Dessert was delicious! We had fun just going out together for a few hours. It was a good reminder that we should go on dates regularly. I am so glad and thankful for Jeff's great job. We are trully blessed.
Jeff's birthday was a good day spent in Emmett with his family. He opened presents and ate some really good cake that Momma Head made. Jeff got a riffle that he has been wanting for a while. We enjoyed the yummy dinner buffet that Jeff's family does every year. We had a good day celebrating together Jeff's birth. We spent Christmas eve in Emmett. We also spent Christmas morning with Jeff's family. We had fun watching Rayna figure out how to open presents and her excitement about her gifts. It was so much fun.
Later that day we went to Sherrie's for Christmas dinner. Christina and her family were there. Christina's parents and sister Rebbecca came from Norway. We finally got to meet them. It seemed like we had already met though. We exchanged gifts and talked while dinner was finishing up. We ate a grand meal and had a great time. Then a while after dinner we played games. It was a wonderful day. I was bummed though that we did not get to see my family. My mom was out of town visiting my sister and grandma.
The day after Christmas we went over to Sherrie's early. To say goodbye to Christina and her family. They were heading back to Utah that morning. Then around one we went to a hot springs with my family. Em and Jaren and their family came too. We had fun. Afterwards we went out to dinner to the Old Spaghetti factory. Then we went to my parents to open presents and to play some games. We had a good day. What a wonderful Christmas season it has been.
