'Tis the Season

I'm so excited to be in the holiday season. We have really felt the Christmas spirit this year. It is so easy to get wrapped up in gifts, Christmas trees, and candy canes. While these things are fun and add to the holiday season, this is the time of year that we celebrate the birth and life of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

We have watched numerous Hallmark Christmas movies, each with wonderful messages. I have also been touched by holiday music. Amid stress, and hustle and bustle, it has been in these holiday tunes that I have felt great comfort and relaxation.

Of course, it's not to say that we don't participate in such holiday traditions as decorating the Christmas tree, hanging Christmas lights, and attending parties. We went to our ward party last night. It was nice to be with friends and get out for a bit. We have not done our family picture as of yet, but here are our lights and tree. Here are the new additions...
