So remembered how I said I was a horrible mom this Christmas in not capturing all the classic Christmas moments?

Well Guess what!  

I found my dad's long lost camera on which I also found some Christmas Morning Pictures.
Although they may not be as cute as so many of my friends, and I still missed a few shots that I'd love to try and capture next year, but I'm just happy I have at least SOMETHING to document our own little Christmas.

Here the kids are Christmas morning, in their Christmas PJs super excited to come out and see what Santa brought.
Santa was VERY good to us this year, but before you think we went too crazy, we got everything in this first picture for free with the exception of the Helmet and the little princesses in the doll house.

This was their first view.

And then Just to the side of that here was the other view.


The Rapunzel and Maximus dolls were not originally part of Christmas.  I was going to save it for her birthday.  But I found this idea online that had the kid leave their binkies (pacifiers) out for Santa and he would leave and extra special present in return.  We were slightly desperate and decided to give it a shot.  Well, it worked!  We are binky free as of Christmas Day!


I only had three gifts for the kids to actually open from me and Jeff.  Basically a few clothes and books.  Santa did such a great job we didn't need to do much or really anything but it was the principle of the thing.  :)


P was Super excited about his new Spider-man Sweatshirt.


The after math.  I really should have posted the video, it seriously was priceless.  I loved that the kids were so excited about each other's gifts.  "Look Parker!!"  or "WOW EM!  Look at this!"  It was such a fun morning.  
Here is one last shot of Em trying on her new princess high heals.  I got them from a friends garage sale and she LOVES them!  She was always wearing mine anyway, so she loves that she has her own now.

Anyway, Yay for not being as big of a slacker as I thought!  :)

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

By
  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
