It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Following our fun, festive, food-filled Thanksgiving weekend, we decided it was time to start Christmas! We broke out all our Christmas decorations and transformed the house into a holiday display with lights, stockings, garlands, and more.I love pulling out the Christmas ornaments as we reminisce about the memories they bring.  I love the evenings that I get to sit on the couch with only the Christmas lights to illuminate the room. I love the magic that exists at this time of year. I love the symbolism of the season. I love reflecting on the birth of my Savior. I like to contemplate what he was like as a little child, especially now that I have a young son to raise. Mostly, I simply love being with family. I love sharing our traditions. I love creating memories. This truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
