Hanging Lights

is always a pain, but not if you use Antonio's method.



So, in honor of Antonio, this year i hung the Christmas lights his way....



enjoy Honey!

i spatch-cocked a turkey..... seeeeeee......

better than games??

What could be better than games?

Donovan came up to me and said, "Mom, you know what I like better than playing games?"

I searched my thoughts, "Hmmm, playing with your toys?"

Donovan: "No, going to church." "I really like being at church."

wow.

that was completely unexpected. Sometimes it's like pulling teeth getting him there.

Whoda thunk it??

Just another reminder of how true the gospel of Jesus Christ is and how close children are to our Savior. They feel the spirit just as strong as we do and they even recognize it. That in itself helps me to know I am doing the right thing and strengthens my testimony.
