Christmas 2013

We were pretty excited for Christmas this year because we were able to put up our very first tree in our home! Ever since my parents have been married, my mom has made it a tradition to get a new Hallmark ornament to put on the tree each Christmas for each member of the family. Last Christmas, she was pretty sad at the fact that it was time for me to collect mine and take them back to Utah with me. So this year, it was exciting to put all the ornaments I have collected since I was a baby on the Christmas tree.

On December 15, Nick's parents took us to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert with special guests: Deborah Voight and John Rhys-Davies. It was their last performance for the week.

The week before Christmas, my parents came down from Idaho and stayed with Nick and me. They stayed about a week with us in Provo but spent Christmas Eve dinner and most of Christmas day with my brother Craig, my brother Mark, and their families in Salt Lake City while Nick and I spent Christmas with the Durrant side of the family. 

The Sunday before Christmas, my parents, Nick and I hosted a family dinner at our home in Provo for the Leavitt family, where we also did our annual Christmas present exchange. 

Christmas Morning

Santa got husband a new, heavy duty car jack (really was what he wanted) and me.....a kitchen aid! Woo-hoo! We were so excited! It was a wonderful Christmas at the Durrant home!

Love,

the Durrants
