Best. Christmas. EVER.



If there was anything I wish I could bottle up in a jar it would be the wonderful feelings I get sharing a Canadian Christmas with the ones I love most!  Childhood memories of my own that my kids now do somehow makes Christmas that much more magical.  This year was no exception.  In fact...I kept saying to Scott, 'I think this is the best Christmas ever!'.  Somehow everything went as planned.  No one got sick (miracle), we fit in tons of activities, and ofcourse the food in Canada is AMAZING!  I always gain 10 lbs.  But it is so worth it!


I had to laugh because all these sledding pics look like they could be from the past 3 years.  I bought snow suits big so they would last each kid for a few years...they did;)

My baby turned 3 on Dec. 17th.  Blessed lady in my parent's ward baked our family a cake.  Me...mother of the year thanked her profusely, and promptly called the family to gather round the kitchen table to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Walker.  Yup...he didn't even suspect it was a gift from the Lord himself that he got a birthday party!

He didn't care about the houses....

We like to teach them young about good food and portion control

Getting ready for the long anticipated (actually...I think mostly for me;) Christmas Nativity Pageant

Hallelujah! This year we made it early and got awesome seats!

I could bawl thinking about how much I love this pageant and how it warms my heart every time I see it.  True meaning of Christmas!  I pray it leaves the same imprint on my children's hearts.
