Every Blog needs these pictures

I've never seen Addison so scared!!! He was CLINGING to my arm!

I was so proud of my older boys. Carter got to tell Santa that he HAD to go the store to buy the Car and Airplane that costs $20.

We're believers, what more can we say!...and Steve really wanted a candy cane.

Katie said...: I wonder what it is about Santa that is so scary to so many little kids? I love that Carter told Santa what he wanted AND how much it cost...making sure Santa knew exactly which one he was talking about.; December 15, 2008 at 9:57 AM
Braden and Cheri said...: At our ward Christmas party, the kids weren't allowed to sit on Santa's lap. They said it was "church policy". Hmm...Either way, Keara wanted nothing of it. I couldn't even get her NEAR Santa.; December 15, 2008 at 10:31 AM
Celeste Christensen said...: Poor Addison! He looked more scared of Santa than Alicia did! Carter is so cute!; December 15, 2008 at 4:50 PM

Our Daily Funnies

Live...Really Live

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
-Sister Marjorie P. Hinckley

Decide Today to Be the Greatest You!

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

--Nelson Mandela

There is inside of you all of the potential to be whatever you want to be -- all of the energy to do whatever you want to do. Imagine yourself as you would like to be, doing what you want to do, and each day, take one step towards your dream. And though at times it may seem too different to continue, hold on to your dream. One morning you will awaken to find that you are the person you dreamed of -- doing what you wanted to do -- simply because you had the courage to believe in your potential and to hold on to your dream.

--Donna Levine
