Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
2 Nephi 31:20

{more joy} Life does go on...



Well, it seems life really does go on after Christmas has passed us by. We had a wonderful Christmas and celebrated for about three days. Now I'm ready to take down my decorations and get back to our normal life.
Hope you enjoy some fun/random Christmas pictures from last week. The kids and I made gingerbread cookies, wrapped presents, played in the MOUNDS of snow piled around our house, sledded down our driveway, went to three Christmas parties, and ate way too much Christmas goodies.
Back to the sledding--I guess there are advantages to a steep driveway. Even Squiggle got to sled down the driveway by herself and loved every minute. As soon as she reached the bottom she was whining to go back to the top. She even figured out how to move her body to get momentum to go down by herself.
Today Lulu & Buddy made a hill of snow just off the driveway to begin their descent. Rob made a "bumper" for them to hit at the bottom of the driveway. Everyone had a blast and we didn't have to go anywhere--very fun!
Here are a few LO's I completed about our activities this past month:

Since we don't have many grandkids, we all participated in the nativity at my parents house. Having my parents home for Christmas this year and listening to my dad read the Christmas story from the bible was a perfect end to our Christmas celebrations.

  1. Looks like you had a fun Christmas. I wanted to do a gingerbread house but we didn't get to it. The snow was crazy. We had some neighbors who also made a sledding trail in their front yard.
