The Rose Family

What more fun can you have on Christmas morning than spending it with three excited boys? Santa definitely knew the boy's interests, stocking the house full of Lego Star Wars, Iron Man and of course a Mr. Incredible bike! Jacob wasn't left out with his pile of toys as well. Grandma and Grandpa Rose shared the paper throwing frenzy experience with us. Of course, the favorite gifts were Grandma's hand-made quilts for Matt and Josh. Those will stay on their beds for years to come.

We decided that this year would be a good year to start some fun traditions, now that the boys can participate in them. As noted before, we made cookies, built a gingerbread house, read Christmas stories on Christmas Eve, got new pajamas and read the Nativity. To top it all off, the missionaries spent Christmas dinner with us, much to Joshua's elation. Thanks, Elders, for bringing your spirit into our home on this special day!
