Feliz Navidad Mamasita

My best Christmas gift from Wesley was actually just him being here with us in person for Christmas after being gone on his mission for two years. He endured innumerable hugs and kisses from me since he came back, and he was (mostly) a very good sport about it. I loved all the gifts he gave me, especially the ones that had special significance or relation to his mission and the ones which expressed love for me and all the family. Of all those gifts, this little poem was my best Christmas present from him:

A mother-son bond does not diminish over two,
Every week I knew your love was true.
Now as I head away to BYU,
My weekly emails I will still send to you.

Merry Christmas :)

  

This just melted my heart and made me so happy because even though we would be able to talk, text, and FaceTime often, I knew I would miss those P-day emails so much. The posts in this blog are Wesley's weekly emails from BYU.

Some other Christmas presents from Wesley:

  Each one of us got one of his missionary name tags. Such a special gift. :)

We also got a special little note in the red envelope, which went along 

with an animal scroll specially picked out for each of us. Mine was the eagle.
