It looks like Santa Claus found our home this year. The kids must have been good this year because we all had a really wonderful Christmas. Dan and I bought ourselves our own christmas gift. A new mattress. Our mattress was pretty old (it was Dan's mattress from when he was a teenager). We were way over due for a new one. We love our new bed. I love our new bed so much that I don't want to wake up in the mornings. The kids had a great christmas too. They got some new sheets for their beds, and a few new toys. Kirk got a lego set, toy boxing gloves and a scooter. Kate got a barbie dress sewing kit and a doll. Benjamin got some teenage mutant ninja turtles. I can remember my little brother having TMNT toys. Ben also got a skate board (TMNT of course), and also a TMNT truck. All of the kids also got a new sled. We took them up to bear lake and went sledding. Dan was so sweet to me this year and did the twelve days of Christmas. He got me a little something for each day of christmas. On the last day he got me a dozen red roses. The flowers were so beautiful. He made this christmas my most memorable because of all the heart felt effort he put into each note, and gift.
I am so grateful for the wonderful christmas we had this year. We've been blessed with beautiful children, who make life so meaningful, and fun. We are also grateful for our health, home and country. Most of all we are especially grateful for our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ. I believe in Christ, I know he is God's son. "Though my sins be like scarlet they shall be white as snow though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool". I know that the little babe born in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago made it possible for all of us to live again. He lived for us, he died for us, and because of his sacrifice we shall all live again. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that all men might live again". May this knowledge of our Savior bring us peace in our hearts, and an understanding of how magnificent the love of God is in our lives.
