Christmas Happiness

Why is it that around Christmas time I feel like I have forty seven billion things to do and then I add a couple more.  I'm sure everyone is thinking the same as me.  Yes, it is a busy time but I'll completely miss it once it's all over so I'll stop complaining. Here are a few things that I've loved about this Christmas month so far. 

I loved helping a friend of mine sew aprons and chef hats for her girls for Christmas.  I didn't use a pattern, we just gave it a go. They turned out so cute I'm going to make Halle one.  Brandon was kicked out of the bedroom for 5 hours while we completed them over a two night period (one night working until after midnight), so I give my love to him for being an understanding man.

I love that Halle told me this morning that she was going to ask Santa to bring Taya a coloring pad so she doesn't keep coloring on Halle's.

I love that I've turned my bedroom into Santa's Workshop.  Yeah, really wishing for that 4th bedroom right about now. 

I loved being a part of the committee in charge of our ward Christmas party.  It was a lot of work six weeks prior, making decorations and planning for the big day.  It was an absolute hectic night!

I love that that Christmas party is over.

I love that Taya points to our Nativity and says "Thesus" (Jesus)

I love that Chad's family and Kimmie are coming to our house for Christmas.  How lucky are we?

And the last thing I'll mention that I love is....No More Homework For Brandon!!  He completed his Master's program yesterday!  This guy worked so hard to reach his goal.  I am in awe at how he has been able to do it all - work, his own business, homework, church calling, the gym, and still keep us number one on his list.  Good job babe!
