So Beautiful It Made Me Cry

My Aunt sent me this link and I thought I would share it with everyone. This is the time of year when we reflect on our Savior's birth, and I have always loved the song "Mary Did You Know?" I love the pictures they put with the song. I am so grateful for this season and this time of year. I am grateful for a kind and loving Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ. I have really worked this year on strengthening my relationship with both of them and I can truly say that I know I am a child of God and that Christ is His Son. I know without a doubt in my mind that he lived on this earth and is an example unto us of what we should strive to become. I am so grateful for His love and sacrifice. I can't comprehend what he felt in the Garden of Gethsemene or the pains he bore, but I can feel his loving arms wrapped around me when I am feeling alone, lost, or troubled. I hope I can teach my children to love and appreciate what Christ did for us. He gave his life that we might live, and that is the true Spirit of Christmas.

I love this show!

Very rarely do I find a show lately that I really truly like to watch, most of the time I watch whatever is on, but this show is absolutely great. It has it all, Humor, a Love story, Death, Conspiracy, and a good moral to be found in each episode. The main character is absolutely adorable, he isn't hunky hot like Cameron Mathison (dancing with the stars and all my children), he is adorably cute and innocent. He plays the character so well. All the actors are great actually. IF you don't know what show I am talking about it is the one with the pie maker that brings people back to life with his touch and solves their death to collect a reward, but that really isn't what the whole show is about, it has an underlying love story/triangle, but since the person he is in love with died and he touched her to bring her back, if he touches her again she will die for good this makes for a very clean show. I especially love the way it is narrated and the colors. It is just all around great. Watch it and tell me what you think.

Such a Big Boy!

Coytt reached so many milestones in November I thought I would just make a list of all the fun new things he learned how to do

1. Drink out of a big boy cup
2. Open his bedroom door
3. Turn on his bedroom light
(those last two make bedtime interesting)
4. Finally call me mom and Mark dad (he used to call us Mark and Monette)
5. Put his coat on by himself
6. Sit still and listen to a whole story

7. Talk on the phone with Grandma
8. Eat oatmeal without making a huge mess

9. Say his prayers (he actually gets really excited and runs to his bed at night and kneels by his bed)
10. Sort his bath toys


We love you Coytt and are so proud of all you do and all you are learning. You bring such joy into our lives and we are so lucky that Heavenly Father blessed our home with your special Spirit.
