Christmas 2010

This year I actually got up at 5am and went to Walmart for some Black Friday deals. I only ended up getting one of them. The rest were all gone. Fun experience though! Thanks to my mom for coming over to sleep with the kids while I went shopping. Scott was at the dunes. :)

Gifts received..
Scott got ASU cups and a shaver. (he's hard to shop for)
I got a nook light and a scentsy candle.
Ty got a Nintendo DS with some games, The Diary of a Wimpy kid series & his own set of scriptures (we meant to get them for his baptism but forgot).
Kaycie also got a Nintendo DS, crayons, paper and barbie clothes.
Kendall got a pig tent and a horse learning bike thingy :)

I love this time of year. I love the beautiful lights and music and message of Christmas. This holiday always brings a wonderful spirit with it. Beyond all the gifts, we love telling the story of Christmas each week at Family Home Evening and finding others to help. We were able to participate in helping a local family out with gifts for the kids. We did this with another family from church. We went shopping for the kids and wrapped their gifts and left them at the door. The kids always have fun doing this and I hope they learn to love giving more than receiving. It's a work in progress. Unfortunately they're still "i want, i want...gimme, gimme kids".
