Merry Christmas!!!

It is once again the Christmas season. I love Christmas time. My favorite thing is the music and the decorations. I start listening to the music sometimes after Halloween. My family just makes fun of me about that. We put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for our Savior, Jesus Christ and his birth. He has made it possible for us to return to live with our Heavenly Father and to have all of the happiness on this earth. Samantha came home last week and we are going shopping in Billings tomorrow. It should be lots of fun!!! Charlene and Matthew are coming home this weekend, and we are excited to spend time with them. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

It has been awhile since I made a post on my blog. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We has Thanksgiving dinner over at Bret and Bridget's. Then on Friday, Sam, Brandy, and I got up super early (3 am) and left by 4 am to get to Cody by 5 am. We hit Walmart first, and man it was crazy. People running into other people with their carts and wall to wall people. ( I tell myself every year that this one will be the last one that I do this early shopping) But it always seems to come around and i want to go again. I must be a glutten for punishment. Then the girls and I went and got breakfast at McDonalds and then we went to K-mart. We got back home and put up the Christmas tree. Then on Saturday we got up early again (well, everyone but Sam) and were in Lovell by 6 am to meet Charlene and head up to Billings. We dropped the other kids off at the mall and Charlene and I went to the temple. I just love being in the temple with my daughter it is so neat. We spent about 3 hours in the temple and then we went to the mall. We had lunch and did some shopping. Then we went to Costco and left for home. It was a great day! I am so thankful for my family and I am also very proud of my kids they are all good kids and i love them. I am thankful for a loving husband who takes very good care of us all. I love my Heavenly Father and the Savior with all my heart. And i am thankful for my membership in his church.
