Christmas is almost here!

This has been a good week. We had a wonderful RS dinner last night. The ladies that planned and decorated did an amazing job! The kids are going in all different directions. The theater group is preparing for the "Gift of the Maji" next week, The boys start Jr. Jazz, Sammy is getting baptised, The young men and women in our ward are headed down to see the Christmas lights at the temple soon, Larissa is off Volleyball (ing) all the time. Our ward party is this next week......we are doing the food of course!!! With Darin's connections I don't think he will be able to get out of this for awhile.

I really look forward to all of this but can't wait till it is over. The kids are excited to having 2 weeks off of school. We get to put up our tree this weekend! One of my favorite things is to sit in front of the tree with the lights on at night and just relax! With Christmas coming so much to do and so much "Stuff" to get caught up in. We are trying in a small way to take Christmas back to what is should be about. All the crazy people in the stores, all the toys, bigger and better, and so on ........ THAT IS NOT IT! We hope that you find a way to get the true Christmas spirit back in your home over the next few weeks.

Have a wonderful day!
