Its Christmas Time!!

I love this time of year! Absolutely my favorite. Not only do we get to spend a lot of time with family, but its also great to have such a wonderful time of year to remind us of what is really important. I love that we get to celebrate Christ and everything he represents. This time of year is definitely about giving what you can, not getting everything you want. We have gone through a lot of not-so-fun things this last year but we are still so very blessed. We have phenomenal family and friends, wonderful neighbors and a great ward. Brian also has been blessed to have a job. Mind you, its the cause of a lot of our not-so-fun things but he still has a job. Ethan has stayed very healthy and gets cuter every single day. I love Christmas!! I can't believe its in 3 days. Crazy how time flies so fast.

We've had a lot of fun things go on the last few weeks. We celebrated Christmas at my mom's house a couple Saturdays ago. It was so much fun and crazy as usual. We had to stay the night there because of the bad weather in the canyon. We probably wouldn't have made it home in one piece so we had one huge sleepover with four of my sisters and their families.

Saturday this last week, we were able to receive a wonderful gift from Brian's parents. They like to take us to a show/movie and dinner every year for our present. It is the best! They also supply the babysitters to watch all the kiddos and it was so nice. Ethan had so much fun playing with his cousins and we had a great time out. We saw Princess and the Frog, which was adorable. Then we went to El Toro Viejo for dinner and it was very tasty! Thanks again to Brian's wonderful parents for a great night.

We hope everyone has a merry and safe Christmas!

My Movie Star Husband!

So Brian got a great opportunity yesterday to be on Studio 5 to do a spot for Scentinel. He did an amazing job and I have decided he is made for television. I asked him if he was nervous because you can't even tell. He said not until they changed everything last minute and then started filming. Me, I would've been freaking out the whole time and shaking from head to toe. He was so calm and collected. I am so proud of him. I just hope that him doing this will help boost Scentinel's web sales. That would be awesome! Way to go babe! If you'd like to check out my famous hubby, click here.

Other news, Ethan is sick again. He was up half the night last night with a bad fever. I had given him Ibuprofen but it wasn't really working. He was so hot and couldn't get comfortable. His fever was really high and it was starting to scare me so I asked Brian to give him a blessing. What a wonderful thing, the priesthood. Brian gave him the blessing and within ten minutes, Ethan's fever was almost gone and he was ready to play. He is doing so great today, just sleeping a lot, which is exactly what he needs to do. He took a 3 hour nap today after waking up at 11. It was such a huge testimony builder for me to see again, the blessings of the priesthood, firsthand. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and his worthiness to hold the priesthood. We have benefited from it many times and I'm sure this won't be the last.
