Express Route

Our Christmas adventures were in full swing well before the jolly fellow visited our house. A couple of weeks ago we traveled to the North Pole to pay a surprise visit to St. Nick and the kids were so excited to go. We even roped in our Uncle Stephen and Drama for our ride on the Polar Express.

Happy Christmas

-Keeping Christ in Christmas-

Are you willing...
To forget what you have done for other people, and remember what other people have done for you;
To ignore what you think others owe you, and contemplate what you can give;
To close your book of complaints against others, and look around you for a place where you can sow seeds of joy.
To accept that the reason for life is not to see what you can get out of it, but to see what you can give;
To make a grave for your ugly thoughts and gossip about others, and plant a garden for your kind feelings and welcome all.

My (early) New Year's resolution is to surround myself with positive, loving individuals that value my family, friendship, and aspire to be the change they want to see in others and the world.

Emma and Evan you make me want to be the best person I can and I love you. Mommy

Grandma and Grandpa Time

We were pleasantly surprised this weekend when we learned that our grandparents from Idaho were coming for a visit. We had fun spending the day and celebrating Pop-pop's birthday with him a few days early, and hope to see them again soon!
