Fun for the Holidays

  So the past few days have been a lot of fun and I have not done anything super exciting or crazy but I got to spend some time with the people who I love the most! Went running with my two best friends Bekka and Tracy on Wednesday and then again on Thursday with Bekka! Because it is still warm here in Texas after our run we wanted to try and get in the Christmas mood so we decided to go check out some Christmas lights in Rockwall.  The houses in this neighborhood were so crazy and beautiful it was a lot of fun to see it!

  Last night after my work Christmas party I went over to my parents house and my sisters were all there and the kids and their husbands! The kids opened some gifts, we all had some pizza and Ellie (my little niece) and I played dress up and had our own little dance party! After that I took the kids back to my sister’s house and we made a fort & played with some of their new toys!
 I am so excited about this Christmas I really think this holiday season has been the best in years which was totally unexpected for me.  I thought the holidays would be hard because I have always heard it sucks when you are alone on the holidays.  I think it’s because for the first time in years I feel less alone than ever because I have all of my friends and family!!! 
   This time of year can be a great time of year or it can be a really hard time of year but in the end it’s your choice.  You can choose to be happy and enjoy it or you can dwell on what you might not have.  If everything else in your world is falling apart and you can’t think of reason to be happy remember the reason for the season and that is the Christ came to this earth to save us! That is enough for me and I pray that we all remember that we have all been blessed with a savior! :)
