This was our first married Christmas that we have spent with the Guymons. It was definitely another great Christmas! We joined in on some of the traditions that they do every year including having Christmas Eve dinner with everyone who can come, wrapping and delivering gifts to needy families in the neighborhood, and reading the Christmas story and a few other touching Christmas stories. It was a lot of fun to be the secret Santas to 2 families that were struggling at this time of year to have a Christmas for their girls. I also really enjoyed reading the the Christmas story. It always brings the spirit, and helps everyone to remember why we celebrate Christmas and be grateful for Christ's life.
Christmas morning came and I'm not going to say that we had set our alarms to get up all that early, but when we did get up and went by the Christmas tree, our stockings were full. We were very spoiled with all the many gifts we received. Trav and I had also bought gifts for eachother that we brought down with us so we could have a fun time Christmas morning. I think Mark was just excited to actually have a rotation of whos turn it is to open the gifts because usually it's Mark...okay Mark open another one.....there's one over there for you Mark. We all had such a great time and enjoyed every moment we got to spend with the Guymon's.
Mark was COMPLETELY suprised when he opened up his very own pistol. He seriously couldn't believe it!
Mom and Dad Guymon Christmas morning
Travi an I were very excited to get some new clothes which were much needed.
We are so glad that Trav and I could make the time during Christmas to spend several days down in Huntington. We don't get the chance to go visit very often because of work and school, but we had a wonderful time!
P.S. We watched this show called Seasons of the Heart...I thought it was so touching and by the end I think most of the Guymon family had tears in there eyes. It has such a great Christmas message. I recommend you see it.
