This is the post of a million pictures! (so bare with me)
I LOVE the Holiday Season. There is just something magical about it. Saturday night, after Thanksgiving dinner down in PG with Chris' family, we decided to hit Temple Square and see the lights, on our way home. It was our chance, since we drive right past it anyway. I hadn't even thought of it really, but Chris always has a way of finding wonderful things for us to do as a family. The pictures speak for themselves! It's always amazing.
As you can see, Elle doesn't look very happy. She was actually quite bad. Crying, and being impossible! At the time I was kind of mad. Because she was ruining our night. I'm not even sure I remember seeing half of these pretty lights. But later, we found out, that her tummy was hurting. She was having a little problem, and we didn't know it. In retrospect, I feel badly, that I didn't pick up on it, and treat her with more kindness. I guess you live and learn. Sometimes being a parent isn't easy. I LOVE these two little girls so much, I don't even have the words to describe it to you. And I'm so glad that our family has been sealed in the Temple for Time and all Eternity!!! 
It WAS magnificent! 
Shifting gears.....
My little sweet babes, all dressed up for Church on Sunday morning!
The girls sitting by the tree, after we'd just finished putting all the ornaments on. We worked on it as a family. And I was so impressed with how well the girls did this year. Not too many things Mommy had to fix. I think they are professionals now :) ha..ha..
And last, but not least, we finally have all of our Christmas up! It took a few days. But it looks amazing!!! Last year we didn't have a tree. We just used one of the tiny pine trees I have in my house all year long, So I didn't get many of the decorations out. This year, it feels like Christmas! Yay :)
This tree belonged to my Grandma Helen, who passed away just a couple of months ago. While putting it up, I thought of her. I miss her. She was always a cheerful little fart! ha..ha.. Love you grandma :) 
My favorite thing of Chris'. He had this before we were married. His Olive Wood manger. OUR olive wood manger :)
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I can hear the song now. And one tree for the basement! I'm ready for the festivities to begin!
