{Happy Turkey Day from the Renfros}
Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday. I love spending time with family and I love eating turkey. This year we stayed in Arizona with Matthew's family. We had a great feast and enjoyed the family time.

{Gifts for our adopt-a-family}
We were also fortunate enough to participate in an adopt-a-family program for Christmas this year. We shopped and bought presents for a family of four whose son is currently receiving cancer treatment at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
{Merry Kissmas}
We were lucky enough to stay in Arizona for Christmas this year. My parents decided to make the trek from Utah and spent almost a whole week with us. It was nice to see them and enjoy the beautiful weather while they were here.
On Christmas Eve, we went over to Matthew's aunt and uncle's house for dinner. His aunt Lisa cooked some delicious Italian food. We also did a white elephant ornament exchange. After opening presents, we watched A Christmas Story.
Christmas morning we woke up and opened the few presents under the tree. I got a Fitbit Force, a sweater (which still hasn't been delivered....but it's worth the wait), make up brushes, a cookbook, and a picture my dad drew. Matthew was spoiled this year, he got a Fitbit Force, socks, shirts, a Microsoft gift card, a picture my dad drew, and..................an XBOX ONE!
He had no idea that I was surprising him with a new xbox. He thought my clever wrapping contained socks or underwear. I wrapped the controller in several different boxes. When he finally made it to the controller box he said "Now that is just mean." Looked at it for a minute or two, then looked at me with a huge smile and said "No S#!t?!! Where is it?!" I had a feeling it would take him a minute or two to put it all together. I was so worth keeping it a secret.
The rest of Christmas day was spent lounging around. It was nice to take sometime off of work to unplug and enjoy family time. I always enjoy spending time with our families and making memories. Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve.
