I love my house. I love my ward. I have great neighbors. I'm ready for Christmas. The girls will be with Keenan on Christmas Eve. I'm invited to Starlyn's and I'll probably go. It's been a good Christmas season. I've been enjoying a book about advent, called Shadow and Light. It has passages, artwork, and music to consider each day of advent. I also filled my advent calendar with notes for ME...things I want to do, like send a Christmas card (I sent one to Uncle Mike), go out to eat, read a story in the Ensign, watch a Christmas movie, etc. Again, I've really enjoyed this season. It's a unique one, but it's been peaceful and wonderful. I'm also the recipient of the 12 Days of Christmas from an anonymous giver. Each night, they've dropped by a note, scripture, and a gift. It's been really fun.

| MaryJane McGuire brought this for me. She said it looked Swedish to her. We had a great visit. |
 |
| So many treasures in this hutch, including a Zella Santa from Karen Dillard and Christmas dishes from dad. |
 |
| Santa Lucia breakfast on December 20 with the girls. I celebrated with Kamiko and Bekki last week. |

| Melia talked me into buying this tree. The Christmas tree is my LEAST favorite decoration, but I think I've changed my mind. I love this beauty that we named Lucy (nod to Charlie Brown tree and Luz for light) |

| Allie showed this butter ornament to me. It's perfect for this year with all the pastries and pan sauces we've been making. BUTTER. |
 |
| I gave my elf pillow a makeover this year and I really like it. We got the straw ram on clearance at IKEA. |
