Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year.
I love being surrounded by family and the spirit of Christmas, love and giving is
unlike any other time of the year.
I also love the smell in the air. My favorite smells are warm rolls and pies.
The kids are looking forward to sweet potatoes and ham.
My mom always started shopping for Christmas during the summer, with as many children as we have I also start by summer. I love finding the prefect gift for each person, that is really my favorite part of Christmas.
I love family pictures and getting one is really hard and rarely fun if you can imagine. We have twelve beautiful smiling children but we are missing Heather and Nickie. This year Jacob won't be here. We will miss him a lot! We need ideas for missionaries for Christmas. We are lucky to have him in the states, it will be easier to send him something.
Well, it is coming fast. I wish I could do a cool count down like Jordan has on hers.

Thanks for reading.
