Living in Seattle definitely had it's perks and one of those was being able to spend Christmas at home with the family. We had a small group this year that just included my parents, my family, my sister Devee and my sister Marina. We had such a great time. As goes with tradition we spent Christmas Eve with the Satkos. It was so fun. We did a reenactment of the Christmas story that was like no other. You can check it out here.

Christmas turned out wonderful. We missed all of our family who couldn't be there, but in a way it was a great reminder of what is most important at Christmas time. It's so easy to get caught up in commercialism and in material goods, but in the end what matters most is spending that time with family and celebrating our faith in the Savior, Jesus Christ.
