Christmas

This Christmas was so fun. We were lucky enough to spend time with Josh's side of the family and my side of the family. Although I'm sure Sadie still doesn't really have any concept of Christmas, it was still fun to get her little gifts and watch her open them. Every year I try my best to be sneaky and buy Josh Christmas presents that I think he wouldn't guess but, without fail he always guesses what I got him and well...I'm not very good at lying. I was completely spoiled this Christmas. I got gift cards to Target, Charming Charlie, and Joann's which are pretty much my favorite stores. I also got boots, a sweater, Photoshop elements 10, a jewelry making kit, BOTH Adele cd's, and lots of decadent chocolate candies. Ferrero Rocher anyone? The best gift of all though was just being able to spend time with family. On Christmas day Bob pulled us around on inner tubes around the neighborhood. Josh, Jentry, and I played cards with my parents and my Dad was getting a little loopy and it made us laugh so hard we cried. Even my Dad laughed so hard he cried! Sometimes he reminds me so much of his sisters, makes me miss the days when we all used to get together so often. I can't post about Christmas without saying how grateful I am for the one true gift of Christmas which is the gift of the Savior Jesus Christ. Where would I be without his unconditional love and forgiveness? Where would any of us be? I can only hope and try my best to someday be like him in every way. With that being said, how about some New Years resolutions to help me be more Christ-like?
1. I will try my best not to say negative things about anyone. If you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all right?
2. Have more patience with Sadie. Sadie is an active, BUSY girl. Instead of being angry and annoyed by this fact I am going to try my best to embrace it and know that this is who she is and love her for it.
3. Not only tell Josh that I love him but try and do something everyday that shows him I love him.
4. Get to readin' my scriptures! Every night!
 That's all the resolutions I have for now. At least Christ-like ones. I mean I could put loose 20 pounds but I don't think that is realistic or Christ-like.
 Here are a few pictures from Christmas both with the LaMarr's and Cattoor's.

All bundled up!

New sippy cups!
