The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I haven't been very faithful to blogging over the holidays. So here are a few things that we did this holiday season. Catherine and her husband, John, came over on the 20th and stayed with us through the holidays. It was fun having them with us. Making our gingerbread house. (12/21/09)We also went to the St. Louis Zoo's Wild Lights with the grandkids. (12/22/09) We acted out the nativity scene the Sunday before Christmas with my brother Dan and his kids. (12/20/09) Christmas Eve my sister, Joanna, and her family were in town. We did our traditional caroling as a family, and that night we acted out the nativity again with her two kids. (12/24/09) Christmas Eve is my favorite part of Christmas. Christmas morning! We did get a little bit of snow while we were opening our gifts. I think it counts as a White Christmas. (12/25/09)My sister, Sarah, also came with her family on Christmas day. Joseph and Grandma.

The Sunday after Christmas we got quite a bit of snow. Joanna was leaving Sunday morning, but they stayed long enough to have some fun in the snow. There was enough snow that they canceled church. We enjoyed a relaxing Sunday together as a family. (12/27/09)

The 30th of December there was a stake dance that Lexy, Anna, and I went to. We had a great time! (12/30/09) New Years Eve was lots of fun. We had a late night dinner at Denny's. It was really fun! Lexy and Anna came with us. Afterwards we had a Moore family dance party in our basement and rang in the New Year! (12/31/09) Every one is gone now. We took down the tree and all the decorations. We had a great Christmas and New Year! I can't wait for it again next year!!!

Elder Andrew Moore- Comes home in 31 days!!

Today is December 22nd 2009. I can't believe that Andrew has been out for 23 months now. He comes home one month from today! I am so excited! I always looked up to him and can't wait to see him again. I know he will have changed a lot, and we look forward to seeing that change. We all miss him most at Christmas time. But it will be nice to be able to talk to him on Christmas day. It felt like it would be forever when we took him to the MTC January 16th 2008, but we are looking forward to having him home!! Merry Christmas!!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Every year we always go to get our Christmas tree from Pea Ridge Christmas Tree Farm. We pulled out our box of Christmas cd's and played them the whole way. We always try to find the right tree. After much debating, we usually find a tree. Dad will cut it down for us, after asking a couple times if we're are sure it's tall enough. But as my mom will say "Ornaments and lights makes any tree look good!" or "It will look great once you put the presents under it!" :)

A Great Christmas Gift

If you are searching for the perfect gift this holiday season I have to say that Michael Buble's newest cd Crazy Love is a great find! Here is the video of my favorite song on the cd.
