Parenting

I thought about putting this on Facebook, but it is a moment to be shared with closer friends and family.

This is from lds.org

Parenting: "Good parenting, while very challenging at times, offers great potential for happiness. Parents can experience great joy by building a strong, loving home environment and teaching gospel principles, which can help their children lead righteous, happy, and productive lives. (See 3 John 1:4.)"

This moment is one of the more challenging!

Happy Boxing Day!

Welcome Cristmas!

"Fah who for-aze
Dah who dor-aze
Welcome Christmas,
Come this way! "



"Welcome, Christmas, bring your cheer...
Cheer to all Whos far and near...
Christmas Day is in our grasp
so long as we have hands to clasp...
Christmas Day will always be
Just as long as we have we...
Welcome, Christmas, while we stand
Heart to heart,..and hand in hand."
-"The Welcome Song" from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas tv show

All I want for Christmas is...

Okay, not quite 2 front teeth. Just one.

R lost the tooth today.
( It was all I could do not to pull out the other one just so we could make the song come true.)

A Fun Chritmas Craft

Take a sugar cone. Put frosting in a circle on a plate. Place the cone on the plate upside down. Frost the entire cone. Decorate with candy. Enjoy! It's a fun craft to do with friends.

Bad, Bad, Bad, Bad Reuben...

This year, H was a sheep in her school's program. A sheep with attitude. She sang a duet about Bad Reuben. Just imagine the "bad" sounding more like "baa".



She gets into her singing and motions. Hopefully, we can add a video later.

We love our little lamb.

O Christmas Tree!

Another monster tall tree. I think it is our prettiest yet.


Cutting down the tree at our favorite tree farm.

It is always one of our favorite outings of the year.
