Finally Excited

I'm finally excited for Christmas. I think it had to do with the speaker we had today at church. For some reason his talk just touched me. There is a lot more to Christmas than just THINGS. I am so grateful for my beautiful family. For their good health, for my husband and his priesthood. I'm grateful for the gospel and all it has done in my life. I'm grateful for the Atonement. I'm glad we celebrate Christmas because it just makes you remember Christ and all that He has done for us!

We were supposed to go to Utah this weekend but due to the weather we decided to stay home. I'm so glad we did! I got to go to my work's company party
which was a lot of fun. Drug Jeremy around shopping Saturday morning which always is fun. The girls LOVE sportsmans warehouse. Taylor kept asking Jeremy to take her fishing. Everyone we passed just laughed. Then Sadie couldn't be more excited. She was kicking her feet and staring at all the animals. I think it made Jeremy's day. We had Jeremy's grandmas 80th birthday party too. Then we were able to go to church and listen to this talk. It was amazing to me. I just feel like I needed to hear it. So for the holidays I just want to be with family. I want to see my girls faces light up with excitement. I want to hear Taylor say "Your the best mom and I love you." I want to see Sadie smile and do her little dance she does. That's all I want and I think I will be the happiest mom alive! So to everyone who reads this Happy Holidays and I hope you enjoy them as much as I am going to!

Here's a picture of the 3 most important people of my life!
