Dear Santa

As we were setting out cookies and carrots for Santa and his reindeer tonight, Nate brought a piece of paper over to Eric and asked him to write Santa a note. This is what he wanted dictated....

Dear Santa,
Don't eat all the cookies! Just have one.
Love Nate.

Nate has always had a hard time sharing snacks! Eric and I were laughing so hard (which is really painfully by the way!) We finally convinced Nate we should modify the note to say "don't eat all the cookies, just have some!"

Merry Christmas everyone!

Bringing Home Baby

Just a warning...this post is going to be full of gushy, lovey baby stuff so if you are not in the mood for that, you better stop reading! So we were able to bring Noelle home yesterday (Friday) and she is doing so fantastic! She is just the perfect little baby! I don't want to jinx myself, but she seriously couldn't be a better baby!

I am also recovering quickly which is such a huge blessing. Nathan is doing fantastic so far! He loves having Noelle's undivided attention when she is awake and she is so interested in him too! Its so exciting to think that our little family is reuniting here on earth!

Eric still has a cold. He is pretty miserable but he is trying so hard to help out even though I know he isn't feeling good! We are quarantining ourselves for a few weeks, so I apologize to family and friends who have wanted to come see her but we decided we better try to avoid any further illness. I have always hated the flu season but now its got me constantly praying for good health.

Flu season aside, this is such a wonderful time of year to have a baby because of the opportunity it has given me to reflect on the birth of our Savior. As a mother it has made me reflect on my purpose here to raise my precious children (I love being able to say children now)with the knowledge of the Gospel and for them to know of their Saviors love.
