Pre-Christmas Fun

We've been having fun this holiday season.  Atreyu had a Christmas party at school where they decorated boxes to look like a train and they went for a ride on the "Polar Express".  I wish I had known beforehand that they were doing this so I could have gotten some pictures.  The kids have been able to sit on Santa's lap twice this season.  Atreyu loves him and Cambria...not so much.

Of course at Christmas time you have to have sugar cookies.  Jesse, Atreyu and I had fun decorating them one afternoon.  Atreyu and Jesse both like to eat them more than decorate them so they really enjoyed themselves as well as their tummies.

Before church I tried to get a picture of the kids in their Christmas outfits but Cambria wouldn't have it.  This is the best I got.

This is truly my favorite time of year.  I love the spirit that is in the air, the Christmas songs, the snow (which we finally got) but most of all I'm thankful that we are able to celebrate the birth of our Savior.  I know I sometimes get caught up in the season and don't take the time to remember His holy birth but I have really been trying harder this year to remember the reason for the season.  I am so thankful for my Savior and the opportunity I have to teach my children about Him and His love for us.
