You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

A few Christmas Favorites

Snitch came back this year and made his appearance in some pretty clever places.  He looks different you might say - well, yes he does - he started eating his vegetables and got healthier....:)  At least that's what the note said when he came. 





Hunter dressed up for Christmas at school - it was a contest for best idea or something and he won - a candy cane.


I boiled potpori daily duing December.  love how it made my house smell like Christmas!


Mom and Dad got a Dog - he is the cutest little puppy - Travis has a soft spot for the little guy too. :)


Travis got a Justin Beiber ( a famous pop singer) doll from Philip's boys (Brit, Trevor, & Preston) it was a classic gift!!!

I didn't get a whole lot of shots opening presents, but the kids were very fortunate this year to have had  more than they could imagine.  We had a family approach us and ask us what were on each of their lists and they managed to get almost everything they asked for.  Travis and I felt so fortunate to be a part of something so thoughtful and we will pay it forward when we are in a position to do so.  Hunter got a Nintendo3DS, marbles, light saber, iPod docking station with clock.  Gwendalin got several Monster High dolls, some crafty things, a digital recorder, a weighted baby.  Tyler got a helicopter with remote control, wall tracks, beyblades, light saber.  Dallin got a marble track, a remote control helicopter, light saber, orbeez, spider man web blaster.  And all of them had even more than that - but those were some highlights.  We were blessed.
