Christmas this year was wonderful in its own way. Rarely is Christmas on a Sunday and this year was one of those rare days. I had been given the calling of ward music chair person and was lucky or insane enough to be in charge of our sacrament meeting program. It was all music and amazing. As a result of the musically filled program I ended up being really busy with rehearsals and learning all kinds of music. It really helped to keep me focused on the true meaning of the season in addition to being able to work with the most amazingly talented people who were willing to give up their time and share their talents to make the program beautiful. I'm so grateful for the talents a loving Heavenly Father has blessed me with and the chance I have to share those talents with others.
We thoroughly enjoyed the time we had to spend as a family without the structure of school and work and even spent some time in Ohio. It could have been at least a month longer. Have I mentioned how much I love being with my kids? They are my favorite people to spend time with, any time of year. Most of all, I'm so grateful for this time of year I have to remember and celebrate the birth of my Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!
