Christmas Bingo |
Last night we had a White Christmas at Grandma Annie's and Grandpa's! It was so fun to be together with our family. We missed Brinton and Makenzie and baby Kysen. I was so sad that they couldn't be there with us it would have been neat to all be together. But with colds and a new baby it just was not worth it. But they were missed.
We had great food, Kids were pulled behind the snowmobile on the sled ( and me but not the brightest idea when you are due in less than 3 weeks but it is so fun ), Sierra and Preston drove the little snowmobile, We played Christmas Bingo, opened presents, and even found the pickle!
I love going to my parents it is so beautiful and I love that they are buried in snow even if they don't! The kids loved playing in it. Karleigh couldn't wait for me to come out with her and build a snowman.
I love this time of year. I love that my kids are getting old enough to understand the true meaning of the season even if at the beginning Colton Called the baby jesus in the nativity the baby santa. He knows who it is now! I love being able to focus on the Savior this time of year.
The last few years during Christmas I always ask myself why is it that we only reflect on Our Savior's birth and life once a year. It makes me a little sad each end of the year as I reflect and see that I have not done my best at Remembering Him each day. Every year I start out trying harder to remember him that I may always have him with me. So my Christmas Wish this year is not only that I remember him daily but to extend the challenge to everyone out there. Our Bishop gave us a challenge for the new year to Do nothing without asking one question first: What would Jesus Do?. What kind of days will we have if we do nothing unless we ask ourselves that question first? Will we be more patient? Humble? Meek? Charitable? Will serving and loving one another come more easily? I pray we can all just be a little better this year! We love all of you and if you are wondering where our Christmas card is well the baby is coming and we will be sending out New years cards!!!! Thank you to all of you that have sent well wishes our way and know we are thinking of all of you and wish you a Merry Christmas!
