Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve has always been my very favorite part about Christmas--the lights in the dark night, the anticipation, the final practice of the Christmas play, the testimony meeting...Christmas morning is always fun, but Christmas Eve is always more spiritual.

So I wanted to tell you all how much I love the gospel. I am so grateful for the opportunity we have to have the Spirit in our lives. I am grateful that I have a testimony of Jesus Christ and His redeeming sacrifice--and I am so grateful that I can repent and become a better person. I am grateful for my family--my own little (growing) family, with my marvelous husband and my sweet children. I am grateful for my big extended family as well--I love you! Thank you for being my family. Thank you for marrying into our family (those of you who made the choice to join the craziness). Thank you for putting up with me, for helping me become a better person, for loving me.

Merry Merry Christmas, everyone. God bless us, one and all!
