Family Christmas Photos

Well, I FINALLY got our Christmas card photo taken. this year, it took me a long time to take some photos and send out our cards. I love sending cards, but, I feel like a have so much less free time now that I'm working again, I just feel like the day is done long before I have completed everything that needs to be done. But, we did finally get all dressed up and, fortunately, we were able to get a few really cute pictures among all the crazy ones. I am so lucky to have such beautiful children - if I do say so myself! I am so happy to be a mom to my children and to help them learn and grow. I truly hope that they have a wonderful Christmas full of joy,love, family and surprises.

Holiday Fun

Well, we are fully into the Christmas spirit now and having a really fun holiday. we have our house completely decorated. The kids love putting on the lights every evening and ask to leave them on during the day. Of course, I explain that the lights are for when it's dark. We had a wonderful experience going to our stake's Creche again this year. I absolutely love seeing all of the beautiful nativities on display and the musical performances are so lovely. The kids enjoyed it, too. they particularly love the kids' area that has a dress up room. even Erik liked it. We got to visit Santa at the library this week as well. The girls were very excited to see him and tell him what they would like. Erik was not so enthusiastic. Luckily, he did not scream, but, he was not happy about being placed on Santa's lap. We look forward to the rest of Christmastime and all the joy that comes with it.
