Getting Ready for Christmas





It snowed a lot in Blanding to help us get in the Christmas spirit!!!

Those "lumps" in the snow are our Christmas bears that Jed put out

Grandpa and Kristi and the kids came to help us decorate the tree

"Giving, not getting, brings to full bloom the Christmas spirit. Enemies are forgiven, friends remembered, and God obeyed. The spirit of Christmas illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world’s busy life and become more interested in people than things. To catch the real meaning of the “spirit of Christmas,” we need only drop the last syllable, and it becomes the “Spirit of Christ."

--Thomas S. Monson, "The Best Christmas Ever", Liahona, Dec 2008, 2–6

Wow! Lots of snow! Have fun. My kids went up to the snow last weekend and they were tired of it after about an hour. We are wimps here in sunny AZ! Your tree looks fantastic! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season!
