Merry Christmas

I was not able to get my Christmas cards made this year and I have decided that you know that is alright, life will go on.

 Here are our Christmas photos. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Season. We are so grateful for this time of year to reflect on what is really important to us. I am very thankful for so many happy reminders around me like the excitement my kids get when it snows or to see there faces when the decorations first go up. I love Christmas and I find every year it actually gets more exciting with my kids. To watch there different stages of the season is so cool. The energy Kendall will bring about something and watch how Marshal will get just as excited for her makes a Mother proud. I love hearing the older ones playing Christmas carols on the piano and reading stories to the younger ones, but what I have enjoyed the most is 

listening to them talk about Jesus and explaining it to each other. I am grateful for

 the examples and testimonies that have touched my family. 

For the first time in a long time I feel at peace with where I am and who I am becoming. I know that with the help of my Savior Jesus Christ that all will be well. Not saying there won't be bumps along the way but I am strong and can deal with them. I am grateful for my parents they taught me well. I appreciate the example they we

re to me I draw from it daily. 
I hope to be able to be this sort of example to my children.

I am very grateful for a hus

band who is always there, Children who try hard to do what is right for wonderful extended family and for incredible friends. most of all I am grateful for my testimony of the gospel I know that Jesus is the Christ and that he suffered for me I am thankful for modern day Prophets to te

ach and guide me and I am thankful for the scriptures to be a constant guide.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! Enjoy every minute.
