Christmas Spirit


Our Christmas cuties!


Look at that face
I have had the hardest time getting into the Christmas spirit this year.I think just all the pressure of making it a perfect day and doing fun things with the kids to make it a special season was really getting to me.Then Jaden and Megan sang at the Nativity Festival. Our church puts this together every year here, and it was so cool. There were lots of nativities from all over the world. I wish I would of taken pictures of my favorite ones. The kids sang some wonderful Christmas songs .(and Megan loved her new sparkly dress.) Then I started to get in the Christmas mood , then I decorated the tree with Megan and she was so excited. It made me remember decorating the tree with my mom and loving every minute of it .I could hardly wait until Christmas. Then we had some pretty carolers come to our door that brought a tear to my eye. And we have been doing something different this year. Our friends gave us a Christmas scripture advent this year. You read a scripture and then listen to a song . With the days being so hectic and long it's been great to sit down and reflect on the real reason for the season.

So Much


Happy First Thanksgiving!



Megan is so sweet!

We have so much to be thankful for. I didn't want to pass up this chance to tell how much fun Thanksgiving was this year. We had a great time with my parents and did lots of fun things. Eating ,shopping,movies,eating,playing,going to Yosemite, laughing etc.. We are so glad they came to see us.We made some great memories. I am so thankful for families, and friends,Jesus Christ , and good health and a warm house to live in.(This is such a crazy time of year so I wanted to take a minute and reflect on our many blessings.)Happy Holidays!
