It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas

This year for Christmas we will be spending it in warm(er) Southern California with the Lombardi family. We (I) decided we should decorate a Christmas tree and our home anyway. This year I caved into a fake tree since we will be gone. But next year I plan on a real tree. I basically let Kaitlyn decorate the tree this year and Sarah is very good about un-decorating the tree. To Sarah the ornaments make "tee" (pretty) bracelets.

"We know not all that lies ahead of us. We live in a world of uncertainty. For some, there will be great accomplishment. For others, disappointment. For some, much of rejoicing and gladness, good health and gracious living. For others, perhaps sickness and a measure of sorrow. We do not know. But one thing we do know. Like a Polar Star in the heavens, regardless of what future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith. In sunshine and in shadow we look to Him, and He is there to assure and smile upon us."
-President Hinckley

"Do not allow yourself to be made to feel inadequate or frustrated because you cannot do everything others seem to be accomplishing. Rather, each should access her own situation, her own energy and her own talents, and then choose the best way to mold her family together and supports each other. Only you and your Father in Heaven know your needs, strengths and desires. Around this knowledge your personal course must be charted and your choices make."
