The true meaning of Christmas

This holiday season I was feeling a little overwhelmed, and well a little bit cranky. On top of all the Christmas craziness I just got called to the primary presidency (like a week ago!). Well, the other morning I just happened to pick up the december Ensign and read just about the whole thing before I could put it down. The stories brought tears to my eyes. The overall theme was giving to others and being selfless. It really made me stop and think about the "true meaning" of Christmas. Christ gave us the ultimate gift of service. I got excited to serve those children in the primary! It also made me stop and think that I need to spend more time with my family. So I decided to spend the day doing fun things with my kids, and having a day where we could just relax and feel the Christmas spirit. We listened to Christmas music and decorated gingerbread houses, all the while staying in our pj's. I hope you all kind find the time to serve others as well as spend time with your families, for this is the true meaning of Christmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The finished product. Alexis did the whole design, I just did the frosting!

Tommy kept wanting to pull off the candy and eat it!
