This year December started two days after thanksgiving. That made it hard to gear up because it came so quickly.
This year we have gone to the Spanish fork lights which has become one of my very favorite activities. It's not crazy and hectic . It is peaceful and ....awesome. This night we went to the lights, my parents came I our house and wade got home from work. We loading up our ford and shipped off to go see the lights. We ate pizza at pizza factory. We had a great conversation and the kids enjoyed the food. Then off we went with the Christmas music in the car and excited little children waiting patiently to get to the lights. The lights this year were the best they have ever been! It was an amazing set up with snow everywhere. The reason I'm writing about this is not for the beauty of the lights or snow and no not even the music, it is because of the feeling in that car. The feeling of peace and love. We sang carols all the way home. When we got back to orem we drove a little more to see more lights. Too see the joy if my little ones faces. Too hang on to that prefect little moment. So best for those tender mercies. I love this family of mine.
Wade has been working so hard managing two stores and trying to deal with the pain of healing. But he comes home and is excited to talk to the kids about the elf on the shelf and the trouble she got into the night before. He wasn't a Christmas person and now he is one of the biggest. This is the reason for the season. Our Heavenly Father blessed us with a savior to bless us with redemption and the blessing of eternal families. I'm so grateful for a Father in heaven who loves me and a Brother who gave everything and suffered so I can be forgivin for my sins. I so grateful for this season and the love, joy, and the giving Christmas spirit. I say that in Jesus name Amen.
