"I Love This Time of Year"


The snow is finally starting to fall and it is beginning to look alot like Christmas. I love this time of year and the feel of my home when the tree gets put up and all of the decorations. There is definately a different spirit among us all at this time of year. Sunday, we had a very awesome Testimony meeting. Many people bore there testimonies and I know that all were touched by the spirit and everyone's testimonies became stronger. What an awesome day we had. We have started our December out with an awesome TaVasi Concert that Hannah was involved in. She did such a great job. I will try to post a video but just know that this will be my first time so we will see. I am unable to post a stinking video or slide show. Jeanna can you help me out with this. I am feeling uncapable right now. Thanks Jeanna, for the awesome craft bazaars. I had so much fun creating and selling our crafts together. Now what craziness can we get involved in? I guess for the next couple of weeks, lets enjoy the quiteness. I really did enjoy myself. Thanks again for being that awesome friend you are!
Saturday after the craft bazaar, we had our ward Christmas Party. What a fun time we had. I was on the committee but was still able to enjoy the night. I was in charge of making the advent calendar, possibly a picture will be posted later. We had a very good dinner, Family Pictures, ornament decorating, making a service advent calendar, singing Christmas Carols, the nativity story, and then Santa and Mrs. Claus came to visit with the kids. What a fun night to be together with our ward. Unfortunately Riley and Layton could not join us because Layton was playing basketball in Lander and Riverton and Riley was playing ball in Sheridan and Gillette. There were to many activities planned for this weekend but I hope my boys know really where my heart was. After the ward Christmas party, it was still pretty early so I thought I would support my husband as it was his work party also that night which he did come to the ward Christmas party for a bit and then off to his own. I know that he was grateful that I came but we did not stay long. Definately not the same feeling as our ward Christmas party. I was very exausted as the night came to a close thankfully. We have a pretty busy week ahead of us but then it will hopefully slow down as we enjoy our Family and this Christmas season. I am so grateful for the birth of our Savior and for our Heavenly Fathers plan for each of us. I will strive to keep these feelings in my heart all year long and try harder to be the kind of person that He knows that I can be.
