Adventures in Married Life

 I love Christmas time, the smells, the sights, the sounds, but this holiday season seem to fly by. I feel like I blinked and it was gone. My husby and I have been sick with the flu and sinus problems since Christmas day. It was a bummer, but it gave us the opportunity to just relax and take a load off. We celebrated the New year with a good deal of rest. SO I think we are done for quiet awhile. 
It was a real blast to have family here for the holidays. I will be posting more about that later. 

It was so very sad to take down the tree, my husby had to do it. I was to attached to take it down. But this beautiful evergreen lasted the whole season, strong, and green. It sits outside of the house, as a reminder of the marvelous holiday.

I had fun with my preschool kids on Halloween, we ate witches brooms, ghoulish apple mouths, and banana ghosts. We made fun Halloween art and the kids went home with Halloween candy bags. Then I got lily and Camille ready for trick or treating. I picked up christian and Olivia and we went downtown to third street to find a crazy street filled with ghosts, and goblins, and all sorts of creativity. It was a fun day. 

I'm so excited for this new year coming in primary we have 9 kiddos getting baptized. So I decided to do the eight is great program. I created these really cool binders. In them it has all sorts of information for the kids. Like the faith in god program, scouts, questions about baptism. It was really a good experience for the kids. All the kids and their families came to the meeting and then afterwards we had a baptism of another little guy in primary. It was pretty awesome. I was so happy about the whole event. 

Black Friday is never a time for mall madness. We always go christmas tree hunting. This year we got out of bed even earlier (830am) and went to my parents house to have a delicious french toast and sausage breakfast. Afterwards we loaded up and headed out to the christmas tree farm. It's really so fun to see the kids running around with excitement and pure joy. They really understand that christmas is a magical time.
