Our Holly, Jolly Christmas!

Two Christmas', what could be better? We first stopped in at Vegas with my family. We spent a week just lounging around at eating at Cafe Rio...two of my favorite things! We had our little Christmas and my sisters spoiled my kids! Thanks mom and dad for the much needed pack 'n' play...we love it. We then drove to Orem to stay with Jake's family at Grandma Helen's. She was very kind and patient, 9 kids under the age of 7 can be a bit hectic.

Everyone was a bit spoiled this year (we barely fit it all in the car for the ride home), but one of our most special gifts was the "Christmas Jar". Mom and Dad Cragun told all of us that our gift to them was to do our own Christmas Jar. They gave us the book to read, the money to fill in the jar, their own set of directions to follow and the DVD, "The Ultimate Gift", to tie it all together (a fantastic movie, by the way.) We each had to document our journey on how we found a family to give to and how we executed the secret "drop off". On Christmas morning we each shared our story, followed by MANY tears, and we were each given a binder with everyone's story in it. It was such a fun way to bring the Christmas spirit to our home this year. We have kept the jar out and will fill it all year long in hopes to bless someone's Christmas next year in Florida. Tanner and Logan have already added $.68! Thanks Mom and Dad for the best gift ever!
