The most wonderful time of the year.

Christmas in Salt Lake and Logan.. Not all the pictures but some of my favorites.. 

Thanks Elder Einerson, for the AMAZING chocolate.

 JJ with Sienna and Bentley..

 We went to Primary Children's to donate some stuff for the kids and they had these ice sculptures in front of the hospital. My mom was so excited she had to take pictures! 

This guy was way funny and nice enough to take a picture with us. Not sure why Kandice and I are bending over all awkwardly...

Christmas Eve

Christmas Day on our way to Logan, Kandice was freaking out she was so excited to talk to Lance.

Love these two..

Get a load of this girl.

My Mom left her pillow at the hotel so we had to go back about two hours later and see if they had it. She was so excited they did!

This was a wonderful, relaxing Christmas. We got some much needed family time. We all had a lot of fun. But of course its good to be back.

Merry Christmas...

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas. Mine is perfect, more pics and stories to come later..

"This is a glorious time of the year, simple in origin, deep in meaning, beautiful in tradition and custom, rich in memories, and charitable in spirit. It has an attraction to which our hearts are readily drawn. This joyful season brings to each of us a measure of happiness that corresponds to the degree in which we have turned our mind, feelings, and actions to the spirit of Christmas." President Thomas S. Monson -- What Is Christmas?

The Forgotten Carols

A lady at work told me about this book. I had seen commercials but never read it. I'm in love with it. I think its going to be a new Christmas tradition for me. The music is great too. The story is about a lady who is a nurse that is a different kind of person with no family her life is her job. She is assigned to go to this mansion and take care of this old man. What he shares/teaches her is amazing and it changes her life forever.
