Merry Christmas

Christmas Nativity 2011

Spencer has the neatest tradition in his family.  Every year, Spencer and his siblings would don their dad’s bathrobes and old shirts and act out the Nativity while their mom narrated from the Bible. 

We have not really continued the tradition since we got married because it’s a bit difficult with just the two of us, but I was re-listening to past Christmas Devotionals, I came across this one given in 2008 by President Eyring.  I realized that we don’t have to wait to start some family traditions I had previously put on hold.  It may be a bit harder to do with just two, but it can be done. 

We had a very small cast, as you can see, but it is a tradition I hope we continue in our own little family. 

Small Shoes to Fill

Spencer and I are so excited to share that we are expecting a baby in February.

We are so happy and totally adore our baby’s birhmom and birthdad.  They are awesome people.  I can’t wait to tell you more about them. 

As excited as we are about our good adoption news, it is bittersweet for us to share.  We are mindful of our many friends who are still waiting for their little one.  The wait is so hard and we don’t want to do anything to make it harder on any of the people we care about so much. 

We love you guys.  Thanks for all of the support and prayers offered on our behalf.  We know we aren’t the only ones who have been praying for this baby, and we are very touched and very grateful. 

Season’s Greetings

“Fine Mom, I’ll wear the stupid hat, but you can’t make me like it!”
