Christmas Memories

Aiden slept one night in one of his favorite christmas presents from Grandma and Grandpa
After getting home from the 4th round of Chemo-Aiden wanted to stay up and ring in the new year. We were also very excited to be home and not in the hospital!

Christmas morning-Averee was not to sure about being woken up by her brother. She couldn't figure out what was going on.

This year I decided to make everyone PJs. Our family is divided when it comes to cheering for the Utes or the Cougars. Aiden and Averee has to put up with both sides. Matt a graduate of Utah loves the Utes and myself a graduate of BYU likes to cheer for the Cougars!

This Christmas was different from years in the past being that we stayed home and were unable to attend family christmas parties due to the fact that Aiden could potential get sick and set back his progress. Christmas was fun and I tried to focus more upon the true meaning of christmas. We attempted to read the Christmas story from the scriptures but neither child was understanding so instead it was told in way that a child could understand. We also had a tree made from paper that each time someone served another person he/she was able to put an ornament on the tree. Aiden worked really hard to get ornaments on the tree. He helped clean the house and tried to share and be more kind to his sister.
