Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Merry Christmas

Christmas was wonderful with these two kiddos, Marianne woke up super early and then we played and finally woke up Spencer and boy was he excited. Marianne was thrilled and kept saying "Santa Claus Presents" for the next three days after- she thought was a good gig.











Marianne got some fisherprice animals or "Aminals' for Christmas and she was in Heaven and carries them with her everywhere.

















Just after Santa arrived, most of those came in a suitcase that Kandon Petersen brought to us, thanks Kanden, from our family.

This is the nativity that we ordered from the Cinnamon Man, it is beautiful and our name is carved into the back. It is made out of Cinnamon bark that is ground into powder and made into a clay.
