We had an amazing Christmas this year! And it had nothing to do with presents or anything like that- although we were really spoiled. I think that my favorite thing about Christmas is that we just spend time with the people that we love most. Whether that be in person, or on the phone, or by web cam - that time is what I cherish and treasure once all the wrapping paper has been thrown away. Jared and I also thoroughly enjoyed seeing Christmas through Tori's eyes. 
It was so much fun watching her delight in the magic and wonder of everything! And of course, I love that during the Christmas season we turn our lives more towards the Savior. And that we can really focus on His life and sacrifice - that is by far the best and greatest gift we have been given!

We hope you enjoy all the numerous pictures of Tori - I had so many adorable ones that I couldn't narrow it down!
When Jared was little, Grandma Jones would make each of her grand kids pajamas every year for Christmas. She would make sure their name was on them along with their grandchild number, for instance - Jared was the oldest grandchild, so his always had a 'Jared 1' on them. Grandma and Grandpa Allen decided they would carry on this tradition and sent Tori her very own 'Tori 1' pajamas! I think we are safe to say that she really liked them!
Tori ate many a Christmas ornament this year!!! By the time we left, the Christmas trees at both houses only had ornaments on the top half of the tree!
Who needs presents (or a sword) when you have a wrapping paper roll?
Getting all ready to have yummy pizza for our Christmas Eve dinner!!!
Here is Tori harassing the tree yet again, but this time in her super-cute Christmas pjs!!!
Getting all settled down for a long winter's nap- with Puppy, of course!!!
Jared's long winter's nap wasn't long enough so he took a little snooze on Christmas morning. Stuffed kittens really make wonderful pillows!!!
Santa must have known that Puppy needed a playmate - Tori and Puppy were both really excited to welcome Freckles into the family!
Tori had such a great time playing with this basket of oranges...
and I have no idea what she was planning on doing with them. Any ideas?
Tori received several cute new outfits, some she wanted to try on right away!
Christmas evening we went down to Dad and Charlene's house. Tori was in heaven watching a movie with her Aunt Anna and enjoying a bowl of popcorn - it can't get any better than that!!!
Merry Christmas everyone! We hope that the wonderful warm glow of the season found you wherever you were!!!
