What We Love about Christmas

We hope you had a very merry Season!

Here are some reasons we love Christmas time:

making homemade gifts
(even if they are not perfect!)

my friend taught me how to make these gifts for Adam...so fun!

The music
(the Sacred as well as the fun Christmas music, hearing the choir singing so beautifully [especially when you are the director and you know they had heavenly help]).

we went to this concert this month...even though we didn't know any of his music, it was so fun-what a sweet little guy he is! Now we love his Christmas Album.

Hearing from family and Friends

Sending off care packages to missionaries
and other loved ones... (I actually only love this when it's done,
I always stress about getting it there on time etc....:)


Nativities

Making paper snowflakes

Seeing your kids turn their hearts to each other
(making or buying gifts for each other with their own money).
this is a "blanket" made by David for Adam


Decorating

see the link (above)to my decorating blog for the complete Christmas home tour:)

Bundling up the babies to go outside

Making Christmas cards and crafts

kits for the craft I was in charge of for Wesley's class party




Seeing the magic of the faces on Christmas morning,(hearing things like wow thanks Mom and Dad...I can't choose a favorite, they are all my favorite...)

The mayhem

Having opportunities to serve others and think about
and remember the Savior all month long He is the reason we celebrate.
