Lately...

I have been really bad about blogging lately! It seems like when I get on my blog I look at all the other blogs and they all make me cry. I think it is the time of year and the many things we have to focus on. And the other things we get to focus on. I love the Christmas cheer in the air that brings a smile to my face and a twinkling in strangers eye's. I love to hear touching stories about kindness and generosity all around. I wish it were like this all the time! My favorite Christmas song it "My Grown-up Christmas wish" it is exactly how I feel. I wish we could all think about and care about others like we do at Christmas time.



On Sunday we went and watched the Christmas Devotional at Ben's grandparent's house and once again it took all I could do to not sit there and cry through the whole thing. I loved the messages that were shared. I was especially proud of my little Emily because she was able to name all of the First Presidency, I guess she does listen to what we say after all.

I have also been listening to The Forgotten Carols and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that play and the music from it!! Again I cried most of yesterday, while listening to it....it stinks being a girl sometimes!




I wish I had a quote from the Christmas devotional because it made me stop and think, but everything that President Monson says makes me re-evaluate and think a little more clearly, I know he is a truly inspired man!! If you didn't see it you can watch it, it is well worth the hour!!
