The weather outside....


is not exactly what we'd hope for this close to CHRISTmas. That is a funny word... Christmas. I like it because to me it says Christ (duh... our Savior) and MAS (more)... More Christ. That is exactly what this season is all about.
More Christ
More charity
More love
More patience
More giving
More forgiveness

We have a tradition in our household. A rather new tradition since our household is still rather "new". We do not get presents on Christmas Day. Our presents come on New Year's Day. So we still receive gifts just in a different way. This year we are doing one homemade gift for everyone on Christmas Day. This has helped us to really get into the spirit of putting effort into our giving. I have really loved it this year. The girls are each getting a new warm and fuzzy blanket and Jordan is getting... Yeah... like I'm gonna put that on here. I know he reads this.

Kourtney is loving this season. It's so fun that she actually understands what's going on this year. We took her to a princess Christmas festival on Tuesday and on Thursday we ventured up to Salt Lake City to see the lights on Temple Square. We've been having a fantastic Christmas season. I've been really emotional this year. Don't ask me why... I could just cry at any moment. NO. I am not pregnant.

Kloey is giggling. Oh how cute she is. She smiles and giggles and just loves. It's so special. She is starting to grab hair and pull. Yeah... Kourtney learned that the hard way while sitting next to her on the floor. She felt the need to tattle. And then I felt the need to laugh.

Jordan is starting a new and exciting job tomorrow. This is the first job that he is actually excited for. Do you know how happy that makes me?!! I'm happy that he is so thrilled about this. This man is my rock. I know that no matter what I look like, smell like, etc. he will always come home with the biggest smile on his face, kiss me, and tell how much he missed me and how beautiful I am. That my friends, is love.

Me. I'm a roller coaster. Up. Down. Around. Loop. Spin. You name it. But hey... we're having fun and loving life. Til next time...
