Some pre-Christmas pics

I'd have to say that this Christmas was really fun this year with Leah. She loves to have me turn on the Christmas lights and then turn off all the other lights in the house. They she would say "We're having a Merry Christmas, mom."

She loved decorating the tree, opening presents, reading a scripture about Jesus every day in Dec. thanks to my sister-in-law's advent calendar, making cookies, Christmas music, snow (though I'm getting tired of it in Utah) and everything else related to Christmas. She also enjoyed picking out some toys for another little girl for Logan's work's Sub for Santa.

I hope we can continue to have the spirit of Christmas in our home each year and continue some of these great traditions. Last year she didn't understand as well about Christmas so it was fun to see her learn more and more about it.

I forgot to post about Logan and I celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary back on Dec. 16. I think I got too wrapped up in preparing for our trip to Texas that I forgot to write about it.

We put the kids to bed, asked our neighbors to listen for Cameron via the monitor (we have great neighbors upstairs), and ate out at a fun Indian restaurant called the Bombay House. We don't get to eat there very often so it was a treat. The food and service was great, and we even tried to talk about other things besides our kids.

I can't believe it's already been 5 years. And we're looking forward to many more wonderful years to come.

Cameron is here playing with his favorite animals - his tiger and lion. Leah dressed him up in her tutu so I had to snap a shot of him.

It's so fun to see your family. I think our Bridger has that same little tiger :) It's so fun to watch these little people learn about our Savior. As they get older, it's 2nd nature for them to love the Savior...but we do have to be the example for them. Sweet little spirits for us to tenderly guide :)
