BLOG UPDATE

Wow! Time sure flies fast...it's been over a month since we have updated this blog and it's about time we do. The past month has been busy so we have plenty to post! The next few posts will update everyone on what's been going on in our lives the past few weeks. We hope you enjoy and since New Years is right around the corner, we have decided that a good resolution for our family is to update this more often. :) Just for the sake of having a picture, this is a fun one of the last day of school before the break...

A few of the cheerleaders sportin' our Christmas cheer!

We would like to wish everyone the merriest Christmas! This is such a wonderful season and means so much more than just the gifts and materialization of it all. Here is a great quote from our dear prophet Thomas S. Monson:

"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". When we have the spirit of Christmas, we remember Him whose birth we commemorate at this season of the year. My prayer is that at this Christmas season and all the Christmastimes to come, we may follow in His footsteps. Then each Christmas will be the best Christmas ever."
-Thomas S. Monson

We wish the same for everyone and will definitely be updating soon.
Happy Holidays!
