Getting ready for Christmas

Well we are almost done with our Christmas shopping around here. It is nice to have it done earlier than usual. I love this time of year. It is so fun to go out and about and hear Christmas music and see all the neat decorations. I had the opportunity to go to the festival of tree and that was so awesome!!!! If you have never been I highly recommend it. Parker loves Christmas trees so he had a good time looking at them all. We also had a fun opportunity to go and see a live nativity. It was so neat and made me remember the true meaning of Christmas!!! They had real live animals and baby Jesus was a real baby. It made me cry and I felt the spirit very strongly. I am so thankful for the Savior and what he does for me each and everyday, and my goal is to always remember why we have Christmas. It is so easy to get caught up in the Santa Claus and reindeer part of Christmas, that sometimes I forget the most important part. This is a wonderful time of year.

Here are some pictures of Parker and Dylan around our Christmas tree and some pictures of my Christmas decorations.
