Winter Garden aGlow: Jared, Mya & I, along with Amanda, and Josh, Maggie, and the kids, visited the impressive display of lights at the Idaho Botanical Gardens in Boise. It definitely helped put me in the holiday spirit seeing all the Christmas lights. 
Vos Family Christmas: We celebrated with my family on the 23rd this year. Being all grown up, we all ask for "grown-up" gifts (this year mom & dad gave us a new stove). So since there are not any presents under the tree to open we spend our time celebrating in other ways. This year we went bowling and to dinner at the Mona Lisa fondue restaurant. We all had a great time! Of course, no family event would be complete without a little competition...Men vs. Women bowling match! I am proud to announce the women, "Team Bobcat," won overall! 
At the restaurant Mya got to open her first Christmas presents (minus the pink rocking horse grandma & grandpa openned with her before Jared & I got home from work.)

Maggie & I had fun attempting to snap our first cousin pictures. It is alot harder than it looks to get all 4 sets of eyes looking at the camera at the same time. Especially since Jayten is so active right now. The kiddos all openned their stockings and Christmas pjs from Nana. Later Mya & I went to candlelight service at church. She sleeped through most the service, but jumped every time people started clapping.
Christmas Day: I hate saying "our first family Christmas" because Jared & I were a family before we were blessed with Mya, but our first "parent-child" Christmas was so much fun! We started our day at home with stockings and presents. Mya was really into the paper. 
After playing in her new exer-saucer, and a long nap, it was off to Grandpa & Grandma Malsons' house for Christmas Dinner and more bright paper...I mean presents! Here we had a wonderfully relaxing evening of eating, watching movies, visiting, and playing with Christmas presents. We are so blessed to have such wonderful families to celebrate with!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
