Week 30: 205-211

Things that made me grateful or happy this week:

205. My little boy is so cute!  

He loves to get items of clothing (anything... including underwear) 

and put them on his head or neck.

206. S made her little puppy "Bugga Boy"

into a pirate!

Complete with eye patch and sword (check out his right-our left-paw)

207.  This child has refused to be spoon fed since the day I first 

tried to start feed him solids.

Here he is acting like a big boy on a regular chair, at the regular table,

with grown up plates and forks.  

208. Can't get enough of my kid's artwork.

(Though I take pictures of them so I can get rid of them...

I can get enough of storing the artwork).

 209.  Couldn't get a good picture, 

but I am so happy about my Christmas tree this year!
Got a new pre-lit tree & some new ornaments
and I feel like I finally have a "grown-up" tree
instead of the junky one with hand-me-down ornaments
that I've had our whole marriage.

210.  Despite what may seem to be my complaining above about my old ornaments...

I love my kids' homemade ones!

I will always put them on my tree and have them help me decorate!
(and they definitely helped me decorate this one-- so it's not looking too designer, but we love it!)

As we were decorating S said several times how much she loved our family time decorating!

Me too!

211.  I adore watching the LDS First Presidency Christmas Devotional

(watch or listen here)

Love the words from our Prophet and his counselors 

and I need to bring Christ more into this Christmas!!!!
