Christmas with Noni and Papa

We spent four days at my parents house for Christmas this year! It was great. Naomi sees my parents every week but it was fun to be there for an extended stay and watch Noni, Papa, and Auntie M dote on her. We had our Swedish feast with the Haglund's this year. Naomi had a blast with her aunts, uncles, and cousins. We woke up to a phone call from Elder Fetzer at nine o'clock on Christmas morning. It was fun for all of us. Naomi didn't talk to him much because she was busy looking at all of the presents under the tree. She was convinced they were all packages of cookies. While Naomi was admiring all the cookies under the tree we had a chance to talk to Rich. He sounds great! He loves his companion, and he loves serving the Lord. We can't wait for him to come home in September! After Richards call we headed to church. Church with an 18 month old is tough. For the first time since Naomi was born Dustin and I were able to sit through sacrament meeting while my Dad took care of Naomi. It was wonderful. When we got home from church we changed into our pajamas and started opening presents. The only thing Naomi really cared about was the ribbons on the package and the giraffe that Auntie M gave her.


Later that evening we went to visit my Grandma Fetzer. She is 101 years old and absolutely wonderful! I cherish the time we get to spend with her and Naomi sure put a smile on her face. I am grateful for such a wonderful family that loves us unconditionally.
