Christmas!

Well Christmas is very quickly approaching. This year for some odd reason (cough cough CARTER cough cough) Cody and I are really looking forward Christmas day. We are staying home this year so that we can enjoy Carter's first Christmas without the stress and worry of traveling in Wyoming's unpredictable weather. Cody's mom is coming from Ogden, and Dan and Laura and their kids will be here too.
Also this year we have quite a bit less money than we have had in the past years. Me not working and the addition of another person probably has had something to do with that. So for us this year is not about the gifts we want, or the food we will be eating, or how elaborately our home is decorated; it is about the birth of our Savior. With Carter in our lives we have realised what a miracle Christ is. We have the opportunity to be an eternal family because of him and his sacrifice. We are SO very blessed! We are grateful for Christ and miracle of his birth, and the meaning of Christmas. We hope you all have the merriest of Christmas'!
