Christmas 2008
Sorry I didn't edit these pictures so they are not the best. As you can see we are all looking lovely for Christmas. We were so lucky this year. It was a lot of fun to see Brandon get so excited. He never bothered the presents until he figured out what was in the wrapping. After a opening few presents he wanted to open everyones presents. He is loving all of his new treasures and I will get to spend tomorrow finding a place for each one of them. I love being a mom!

Christmas
Today is Christmas Eve an I cannot help but ponder some of my Christmas's past. Dad and Mom my first thought goes to you. My earliest memory is Christmas morning when I believe I was two. I will never forget the excitement of a little girl when I walked out and saw the baby bed that you had made for me. Mom even sewed the little quilt and pillow. For those of you who don't know, my mom doesn't sew. Twenty years later I was having my own little boy. That Christmas I again got a cradle made by my dad. I still weep at the love that went into those Christmas's. Those are some of the most precious memories of my life. Second, I feel very blessed to have been taught of the Savior throughout my entire life. I hung some pictures on our wall for Christmas and asked Chris what he thought. He replied, "It just looks like everyday." At first I was annoyed at his comment but now I realize that it was truly a compliment. I am grateful for a season that causes me to ponder the life of my Savior. Jesus is the Christ! know that he lives! I love that he loves me! I know that he was born by a miracle and that he lived a perfect and exemplary life. I know that he suffered and died for my sins. I know that I can return to him one day. For this knowledge I am grateful. Merry Christmas to you all. We love you very much.

Crazy Snow Days
It is snowing again today. I cannot believe how much snow we are getting. These pics are taken from my front window. This is so cool to me because I never grew up around this much snow. I am loving it!

Christmas Traditions
Merry Christmas everyone!!! We love you all so much. We have had so much fun this season. It all started with the first snow and sledding. Brandon loves the snow. Unfortunately, he always gets a little cough if he stays out to long. Then we went up to Ogden because I found a Christmas Tree for sale up there. When we went to pick up the tree the family just gave it to us. What a good deal huh. We ended up spending two days taking off the lights because they didn't work, but it is beautiful now. While we were there we visited Christmas Village. It was really neat. I wore the wrong shoes though and my toes were numb by the time we were done. The next morning Brandon and his Grandma Hess spent some time creating gingerbread people and a gingerbread tree. As you can see he loved the frosting. Finally, this morning I let him color some ornaments to put on the tree. Now he thinks he can take all of the ornaments off of the tree and put them back on. Oh well it was pretty for a few hours. I love Christmas; only one more week!!!!

Our first snow!!!
We had so much fun in the snow today. It took a while to round up all of our snow clothes, but it was worth it. We all went out to the park in town and built a snowman, sledded, and threw snowballs. Once again I was shocked at how fearless Brandon is. He flew down the hill on his sled all by himself and then wanted more. I think we need to take him to the top of a black ski hill. After a long day of fun in the snow he pooped out in the truck on the way home. It didn't take two minutes. I love that.
