Thankful hearts

Our camera has been replaced so I finally have some pictures to post! We enjoyed a few days at the Messerlys for Thanksgiving in Manchester and then an evening at Pizza Ranch with the Crims. We set up and decorated our Christmas tree Sunday night. Emma thoroughly enjoyed decorating and Noah had more fun just throwing ornaments around. After spending the weekend with family, I am so thankful for both of our families. It is such a blessing to be part of families that want to be with each other and enjoy one another.

Things around my house have been crazy lately with just day to day messes and the beginning of the holiday season. I love Christmas though and everything that comes with it. Emma is so excited and I know Noah is going to be so much fun this year. This is the only year they'll be four and one and we'll never be able to go back so we're going to enjoy it. Bring on the baking, crafts, shopping, and wrapping, we are ready and looking forward to celebrating the birth of our Savior this season!
