Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

Keeping Christ in Christmas!

I love Christmas! I love spending time with family, enjoying the lights on Temple Square, my Christ tree & all my different nativities, and I love spending time pondering on Christ, His life, and what He means in my life!



We were fortunate enough to pick a semi-warm night to see the lights! So fun!











A week later, my camel had 'grown' an icicle beard!


My Christ tree- thanks, Charly, for helping me decorate!



New nativity from Mexico- Char & Ben gave it to me- too cute!

My favorite because of the sacrifice of Char & Jon...

LOVE this one- all the kids w/ tennis shoes!
Luke, Jon and I were able to go to Tooele for Christmas Eve! It was so much fun to visit with family- especially those that now live in California and my dear MIL! She is so thoughtful and kind!

And Luke and I got to talk with Sister Call (AKA Abby)!!! Yes, we were in the bathroom due to the crazy fun party going on- but Abby looked and sounded so peaceful and happy!

Then there were the other family get togethers- at my parents, at the Smith's (for the Doctor Who Christmas special, of course) and for our kids just yesterday- missed the boys, though!







And Jeremy's homecoming today! As he comes home from serving the Lord, it is a perfect time to reflect upon why we are here on this earth!

I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ!
