Sunday was the Christmas program during Sacrament meeting. Bill was in the choir so I was wrestling the 3 little ladies on my own. Surprisingly I was still able to get the spirit of the talks & songs, it was wonderful. The sister who spoke referred to Mary, the Nativity character who has been on my mind the most this month. I was reading in Luke 2 the other day and noticed that it refers to Mary "pondering these things in her heart" twice during the chapter. Obviously I identify with her because I also have young children. I wonder; exactly what she was pondering?, and for how long? did it bring her peace & understanding to ponder? This I do know; that she was chosen to be the mother of our Savior. I will be forever grateful to this fair & righteous woman who had the faith to do her Father's will.
That evening we spread some Christmas cheer. First we delivered some goodies to our friends & neighbors and then we drove through a neighborhood of lights. My girls had the idea to roll down the windows, stick their heads out, & sing Christmas carols. And so we did. It was memorable.

I honestly think the best kind of pictures are the unprofessional, blurry ones.. because they usually have a memory attached. Yours are great ones!
That sounds like so much fun! I love the simple traditions that make Christmas fun. Hanging out the windows to sing carols is a great touch!!
Looks like you guys are having a great Christmas season so far! We miss you.
