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!
