Playing Scattegories with my sister-in-laws while the boys chased eachother with nerf guns.

I joined FLYlady and I'm really motivated now to get the house clean and things under control around here. My sink is shiny now.

Today I actually did some chores! Amazing, right?

I cuddled with my kids before I got out of bed this morning. I love that tradition, even if it means my day starts slower.

Sunday dinner with the in-laws, our last all together for the next year and a half.

I spent the evening in the temple doing very important work with my husband's family. What an amazing experience.

I have the best family ever! I got to see all of them today for the most part and each person is so special to me.

A busy day spent preparing, it will pay off in the morning.

Hearing my BIL talk about his relationship with phrases like "I think I'm done dating" and using the M word made me really excited. I'm so glad he is happy.

Chatting with the Bishop at tithing settlement. He is always a teacher.

Lunch with the inlaws was pretty fun, but I must say that I enjoyed sewing stockings more.

I'm really hoping that my brother in law's girlfriend and her son become part of our family. They are so wonderful!

We finally went to see the reindeer.

It's so fun to spend time with my ward family. Tonight was the Christmas party.

Having the missionaries over for dinner and feeling the Spirit during our discussion.

Getting to spend my night in a huge bed all to myself.

Making jewelery with my mom-in-law.

Sharing the pics I took yesterday with my sister in law and then watching her play with her nieces and nephew.

Sharing my testimony of the power of music with the sr. primary helped all of us feel the spirit. I also had fun listening to the jr. primary sing "The Family is of God" and taking engagement pics for a friend.

Sewing.

Dancing with my kids and their cousins and getting together with family so that I could do so.

Once again, The Office rocked. Phyllis as Santa? AWESOME.

Nursing the baby, I was showing him where his eyes are, where his nose is, where his feet are. He giggled with a mouthful of milk.

I got a better rate on car insurance by switching. (not to geico)

A quiet night at home.

Oink, piggy, oink!

I got the gifts for my secret santa exchange all packed up. I'm so proud at how cute they turned out.

SCRAPBOOKING!

The girls smooshed their little faces against the windows.

Running in place with all of my kids in the kitchen.
