A Few of My Favorite Things

By Dawn -









Christmas is full of so many, many traditions for us. I love the first snow, which was yesterday! I love the twinkly lights and red velvet bows and sparkle all around the house. Here are just a few of my favorite things this time of year. I want you all to know how much I love all of you and treasure all the special memories we make and remake each year. I also hope each of us can remember the reason for the season as we are busily running around and shopping and baking and partying. It's all very good, and let's find joy in every day and every little wonderful experience of life.

We were reading scriptures, in Corinthians, about resurrection and being called back to the Lord or something....It mentioned something about the trumpets of God welcoming you back to heaven, and mom broke out into the trumpet fanfare from some Handel's Messiah piece. Becca, Lexi, and I did not (obviously) get the reference, but later on Dad broke out into some awesome Handel bass, and then...Voila! Mom came in with the trumpet fanfare, which was part of the song! We tried to get her to do it again on video, but she said she "does not perform on command." (next time we'll carry around a camera all the time just in case!) but anyways, here's what scripture reading is like at our house...enjoy! Love, Eliza
