The Lockharts: The Best Christmas Ever!

This year was my first Christmas of being married and it was amazing! My entire family was together-no one was missing. This year a total of 16! My entire family all agreed that it had been the best Christmas we've had so far, and I think even the husbands had a lot of fun this year too. My parents always amaze me every holiday. Honestly the older we get the funner they make it. Its always hard to keep all of the kids entertained so this year my parents (my dad;) decided to have each family come up with an activity/thought/devotional/musical number that everyone could do or that everyone would enjoy and we would spread it out throughout the day. Now I know everyone that is reading this is going to do this every Christmas eve now! So in order of what we did, Whitney and Wess came up with a totally awesome Christmas scavenger hunt around the neighborhood and house, mine and Scott's was pin the carrot nose on the snowman (lots of cheaters in this one), Misty and Scotts family was a musical number by Kenzie and Misty and Once There was a Snowman performed by almost everybody. Sams was a devotional he had learned in seminary about Gratitude that was very humbling. Then Melinda and Harris' family took us all on a ride on the Polar Express...our favorite movie (not really!) The Polar Express if you dont know is actually a 15 passenger van with happy children all around. The train took us to see some amazing Christmas lights and even had popcorn!It really was an amazing Christmas and I am so grateful for my family. I am really lucky to see them as much as I do but it makes it harder being away from them sometimes. I'm so excited that we are all now living a little bit closer and will get to see eachother even more often. My family is so amazing. I am seriously the luckiest person to have a family like I do! I love them!!
