Merry Christmas!!!

I had the wonderful opportunity to write the cantata program for our Christmas party this year. When I was doing the research , there was a quote I found that I loved... you all know how much I love quotes... :)

"Our joy at this season is because He came into the world. The peace that comes from Him, His infinite love which each of us may feel, and an overwhelming sense of gratitude for that which He freely gave us at so great a cost to Himself."
President Gordon B. Hinckley

For some reason this year, the Savior has been an even bigger part of our Christmas. We are so blessed to have the gospel in our home and our lives. We are so blessed to have a testimony of the gospel and how important our families are to us. We wish all of you the peace that comes to your heart when you think of the Savior and the wondrous gift he gave to each of us.

Merry Christmas... we love you all!!!

Once there was a snowman!!!

Hayden could NOT wait to get out in the snow and build a snowman! He honestly would wear his coveralls everyday to school if I would let him so he could play in the snow. I swear that little bugger doesn't get cold! Cracks me up! Here is his family of snowmen. Look closely... you should be able to see 4!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin said "Not everyone can be a star quarterback; not everyone can be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company; not everyone can win a gold medal at the Olympics; but everyone—everyone—can live in thanksgiving daily."

I am SO, SO, SO thankful at this time of year for my family, my friends and all of my blessings.

I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving day.

LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
