Christmas 2008 Recap

Man does time fly when you are having fun! We had a great Christmas Season with it being Kobe's first Christmas. It was a lot of fun to be able to enjoy our family and friends and also all of that yummy Christmas Food. To start out we had my friend, Mckensie, take some absolutely adorable family pictures. I just love this picture of "our little Santa!"
This year we were asked by our ward to portray Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus.What a neat experience for our little family. It definitely helped bring in the true meaning of Christmas as we were able to reflect on the Savior's birth. During the Christmas party, Kobe fell asleep and so we laid "our little baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes" in the manger. It brought me to tears to think about Mary and Joseph and their thoughts and feelings of their role in bringing in the Christ child. We also had the annual Osborn Reunion. It was fun to get together and visit and play games with the family. I must admit I have had my Christmas Tree up since before Thanksgiving, but I was just so excited for Christmas. Kobe loved the little train set that we had under the Christmas Tree.
This year we had Christmas at the Goodwin's house. We had a lot of fun spending time with all of our family. We played lots of games and ate yummy food.



We also loved to have Rock Band contests. Let me tell you the Goodwin Family really knows how to rock! Christmas morning we woke up to notice that Santa must have tipped over his sleigh! Kobe was extra good this year so Santa really splurged on him. He got a new jumper, a sing-along-stage, blocks, train, and clothes! Grandma and Grandpa Goodwin also gave him a new ride-a-long toy and clothes. Thanks Mom and Dad.

Kobe and Gracy enjoying Kobe's new train. I absolutely love this picture. I am so excited to watch them grow up together! After breakfast we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Moss's house. Kobe was given this adorable little rocking horse. His dad had one when he was little. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa. I know he will really get it going in the next month or two! Elder Justin Moss is currently serving in Chile so we were able to speak to him. He is such a strong missionary and great example to us. We really miss him, but we know he is doing great at being the lord's hands!
Thanks everyone for making Christmas so special. We really enjoyed spending time with all of our family. We love you guys!
