Tis the Season 2015

Merry Christmas from the Lewis, Patrick and Green families!
What a wonderful time of year this is!  It is such a busy time but so much fun and such a blessing to be able to spend time with family and friends.  I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have such an amazing family and so many wonderful friends and to know the true meaning of the Christmas season.

I was so lucky to be a part of this wonderful production that the Folsom Stake put on for the entire Sacramento area and beyond.  It was a beautiful spiritual experience and helped me to reflect on the birth of the Savior and the reason we celebrate Christmas.  I helped with costumes and getting the cast ready and prepared to perform.  It was truly amazing!!

Every year I host a brunch for 5 of my friends at my house.  This year was the 5th year for this event.  The theme was Christmas trees.  It was a great time catching up with friends and enjoying good fun, lots of laughs and exchanging gifts.  I always look forward to hosting this every year. 

I am so grateful for my brother Russ and his wife Stella.  It is always fun to have lunch with them during the holidays.  This year we had lunch at the 33rd Street Bistro in Sacramento. 

The Greens and Lewis' were able to spend Christmas Eve together in Orange County.  We missed them and Erin!!  Hopefully one of these years we will all be together again to celebrate Christmas.

What a wonderful surprise I had at my door the day after Christmas!  I had no idea Jordan, Kristine and the boys were coming for a visit.  They definitely fooled me.  It was so fun having them here and having Christmas extended for a few more day.  I know Owen and Ames had so much fun with their cousins!

Everyone had so much fun at the snow!  They didn't have to go too far to find lots of it either.  We had tons of rain and snow in December after a 3 year drought so it made it extra special and FUN!  I wish I would have been there but I stayed behind on Grammy duty with my two favorite baby boys, Deacon and Ames.  We had just as much fun as the rest of them lounging around in our jammies and staying cozy and warm!
