Winding Down...

I don't know why I feel the need to update, but I do, after 9 days of no posts. Busy, like everyone else this time of year, it seems to take over your life. From Releif Society Christmas dinner, to one year check up doctor apt., to finishing up Christmas, wrapping until midnight, to neighbor deliveries, to on, and on. I know I am not the only one who is busy in this world, but I finally feel it winding down ready or not. Finally it is time to take a breather and remember the true spirit of Christmas. Papa and Julie did the 12 days of Christmas for our little family and what fun that has been, taking time to read the scripture passage on the outside of each package and then the reveal. What a great reminder of why we do the things we do for our loved ones this holiday season. The love, the giving, the service, the reminder. I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, and hope life is winding down, that you will be able to take a minute next week and do something fun and traditional with your little ones.

We agree that it is so nice to appreciate the 'real' behind the fluff.

Merry Christmas to you and all the clan in Idaho.....
