I love Christmas time! I want to do all kinds of fun things to get in the spirit and just love the family time, the lights, cooler weather, and celebrating the birth of Jesus. It is hard to not be happy during all this fun, especially with little kids.
This December was definately different. The kids were still sick. We would get a few days a reprieve and then another sickness would set it. The stomach flue went through the family quick on Christmas day. With in 24 hours 8 members of our family went down, 3 at our house alone. And even more so we had to say goodbye to our sweet nephew Garren who was born and went to be with Jesus on December 8th. It was an emotional month.
But we still tried to get out and do a few festive things. We walked the neighborhood of my parents checking out the lights, went to the Mesa temple to check out lights, decorated Christmas cookies, and went to zoolights after new years. (Picture overload ahead)
