MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
O.K.-I made it through the shopping season without ending up in prison or the mental hospital...barely! I am soooo ready for Christmas to be here. My kids' brains have been taken over by some crazyhopped-up-on-sugar zombie trance, and I have been baking so much that my hands are literally cracked and bleeding. That reminds me...
Note to self: DON'T BAKE NEIGHBOR GIFTS NEXT YEAR! I know you will forget how you feel right now by the time next Christmas rolls around, but trust me self....you HATED it! Your feet were sore and swollen and you aren't really that efficient at the whole process either. Sorry, but it's true. Besides that, your neighbors probably had gotten so many goodies that they eventually threw yours away because they can't stand to look at one more fancy little decorated edible creation! Next year, do something easier!
LOVE,
Yourself
We attended a few Christmas parties and I found this little creation on Pinterest to copy: Can you believe I made this?! I can't!

We hope you have all had a "semi-stressless" Christmas experience! We are so grateful for the many blessings our family has, especially our wonderful friends and family!
*I need to send a "shout-out" to Amazon.com for having almost everything I needed so I didn't have to go out into the war zones in the stores too much.
*Also I would love to thank the people who left a bag of canned goods on our front porch on Sunday...we weren't in need of them this year, but it was very thoughtful.
My favorite thing is that James is going CRAZY wondering who left it. Ha Ha! It may seem as though I am mocking this, but we have been so poor before that we depended on other people and their kindness-trust me! I thought it was really sweet and I will pass it on to someone who needs it more than us this year. We are very blessed at the moment to have steady employment...let's hope it stays that way for a long, long time!
James is such a hard worker, I appreciate his willingness to work so hard so that I can stay home and take care of our home and children. I kind of love him A LOT!
*One of the best parts of this whole year was attending the Sealing of my brother Chris to his wife Diana, their daughter Clara and her sweet daughter Hannah who passed away 3 years ago. Also, last week we got to attend the Sealing of our new adopted nephew Layton to James' brother Travis, his wife Amanda and their 6 kids. It was so sweet! I love the chance to have a glimpse of eternity. These are the moments that truly bring us closer to our brother Jesus Christ and help us know how miraculous and amazing his birth truly was.

Tell James it was me that left the canned goods on your porch. Maybe he'll buy it?? :)
