Thanks:

1. Snow! We woke up to lots of beautiful snow Saturday morning. If it's gonna be cold, it might as well snow!

2. Home teaching. Yesterday we received a home teaching visit- and it was a good lesson that I think we needed. My husband got a new home teaching assignment, and couldn't get ahold of his companion- so we made cookies and took them to this new couple who've moved into our ward. They're a fun couple and we have quite a bit in common (they're younger with no kids, but we still have similar interests/hobbies). It was nice to get to meet them.

3. Ward Christmas parties. Our was nothing special- but still fun. We sat next to two young women who were so cute and helpful with my boys. And we have LOTS of people musically talented who performed and brought in the Christmas Spirit.

4. Christmas Discovery. I've been reading Christmas books with Josh, and he loves pointing out the Christmas lights and trees as we drive around, and he's learning some Christmas tunes... its cute to see him catch the Spirit of it all.

5. Family time. Life can get so busy. Sometimes even when we're all home it seems like we're not really together- but this weekend we made time for some good family time- I love my growing family and how much fun we have together!

6. "Pretty Please!" its the first time Josh added "pretty" to his pleases. Must have picked it up in nursery. I thought it was cute.
