One Monday night before Thanksgiving it was Curtis' turn to give the lesson for Family Home Evening. So he suggested that we just try to list all of our blessings. I'm sure we didn't even get half of them listed, but we sat there for a good 20-30 minutes listing blessings that we had received. I guess it just made me EXTRA grateful for all that I have been given in my life. It was also a lesson that I will probably never forget. Now with Christmastime here, I am truly grateful for the gift that Jesus Christ gave all of us--that precious and priceless gift of the atonement.
I LOVE Christmastime. Mainly just because it is an extra time to celebrate the birth of the Savior and reflect on all the things that he did for us. However, I also love all the decorations and things--even though I'm not that great at decorating. (A couple neighbors, Alex and Cooper, helped us decorate our tree this year...thanks guys!)
So before Thanksgiving my Mom wanted to get pictures of her 3 grandchildren taken together. Here are a few that were taken. JC Penny did them, and I think they turned out so cute!
Also I bought Parker some church clothes for Christmas (12 months) thinking that they would fit about right in time for Christmas...and then I started to realize that they were probably just right for now. He is getting so big! I thought this picture was SO good.
Finally, Parker is getting to have such a cute little giggle...I hope this video works because to me it is priceless!
Isn't that what life is all about?
