My Awesome List!

On Christmas Eve I had a funny conversation with my niece Haley. We were joking around, and she was being super sassy, so I told her, "Haley, you're on my list." To which she replied without missing a beat, "Yeah, your awesome list." Oh how I love this girl! I laughed so hard that I nearly peed my pants! She is on my awesome list!

Merry Christmas!

We usually do our Christmas on Christmas Eve because that's when we get Kyle and Haley. This year it was at my sister's new house. She was super excited to host it this year. We had my mom's tacos, which I love, and opened gifts, and just hung out.

I love Haley's surprise look!

Zachary is so cute! He had the best time with all of his new toys.



This is my favorite holiday. I love that everyone is so excited and it is amazing to watch the kids open gifts, and really enjoy themselves!

Nativities

I've been thinking a lot about Nativity scenes the last few weeks. I've seen some amazingly beautiful ones, and some that are a little out there, but they all have the same purpose; to bring us to remembrance of such a sacred event. I love the look on the faces of the figures in a nativity. They are filled with such reverence and awe. I can't imagine the feelings that they experienced the night the Savior was born. I think about that night often. I am so grateful to my Savior and my Heavenly Father. I love this time of year. I love Christmas carols and the spirit that they bring. It is easy to feel the spirit at this time of the year. It reminds me that I can feel it all of the time if my heart and mind are in the right place. I need to be better at that.
