I LOVE Christmas!!!

I love the Christmas season and I have really started to enjoy this one. I love the music, the smells, the fun of making and buying gifts (all of you that are stressed out there---STOP and enjoy things a little more!), watching my kids excitement, the parties, the trips to Temple Square, the stories, the treats from sweet friends, and mostly the reminder of Christ. This year is the first year since Jake and I have been married that we got a real tree for Christmas and we are LOVING it. It makes the whole house smell great. The only problem is the shape and size is so perfect it almost looks fake. I hope you are all enjoying the true meaning of the season. Take a minute to read a heart warming story, sit by a fire with a loved one, and think about the Savior. Merry Christmas Everyone!Our Tree

Fun at Festival of Trees

James had a great birthday!

Our Gingerbread Nativity
(it was for our ward party's sub for santa auction--hence the money trees)

You have the right attitude for the season. Nice nativity scene and I wish money grew on palm trees.
Love you.

Thank you for the reminder to stop and enjoy the season. It's flying by way too fast and I'm spending way too much time being frustrated.

You are such a great example to me of patience and love. Thanks for all you do - especially for Pete! You rock!

I LOVE your nativity! So, so cute. I must admit, I have major real Christmas tree envy :) Enjoy.
