We Have Room. . .

We had last minute winter guests land on our doorstep last night! It was such a treat to tend our little toddling cousin. Singing B-I-N-G-O and Ol' McDonald while Benji danced around lit up all our faces. Bedtime comes too quickly on nights like this, but like any winter story, every girl and boy fell quickly to sleep.

And in the morning, the dream continued with Dan entertaining everyone with his crazy, stand-on-its-end head of hair and Benji discovering the sliding property of our hardwood floor. Cinnaburst toast loaded with butter, late-coming presents exchanged and a flurry of snow made this another sweet Christmas morning.

If only we could talk them into staying at our place through New Years Eve!

Extraordinary Drink

We have amazing chocolate milk. Not only is it delivered to our door cold and fresh, but it's thick, creamy and tastes delicious (I've been known to chug straight from the bottle on this one). But something happened yesterday that stopped me right in my tracks. According to Ashley, who was the only eye witness, the chocolate milk spilled. . . ALL BY ITSELF! Amazing!

Be Wise

"I promise that if we . . . in sincerity and humility seek the pure and gentle Christ with our hearts, we will see Him, we will find Him—on Christmas and throughout the year."

-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

". . .lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts;

gold, frankincense, and myrrh."

- Matt. 2: 9-11
