"The Christmas Story"

I'm a little late at getting my Christmas page going...but it's better late than never. Something I'm going to miss this year is watching "The Christmas Story" on TBS. They play it over and over again on Christmas Eve for a 24 hour period. Since we decided to down-size our cable(not to mention our cable bill) it will be missed this year. So in lieu of this, I have this picture of Jarrett that reminds me of the movie. Yes I know it's a poodle instead of a bunny rabbit, but it still does the trick.

Pumpkin Patch

My mom and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch a couple of weeks before Halloween. It was a lot of fun to have the kids pick their own pumpkins right off the vine! When it was time to leave, we went to take a picture by this fake cowboy. When we went up to it, it started talking to the kids, scaring them half to death. We then found out the guy who owns the patch had a microphone and was controlling the cowboy. We had a lot of fun!

Well I just got back from the General Relief Society Session with Linda and Emma. There were some really great talks by the Relief Society Presidency, and then one by President Uchtdorf. The talks made me feel like I'm not at all inadequate being a woman. I just wanted to share my feelings from the session. I was very impressed by the things President Uchtdorf talked about. He asked the question What is the greatest happiness? The answer he gave was God's happiness. God's happiness comes from creating and being compassionate. He also talked about how every daughter of God is a masterpiece. i'm going to type out all the notes I took from his talk. The more you trust and rely on the spirit, the more you are able to create. Walk with the Lord. Those that bring sunshine into the hearts of others will bring sunshine into their own hearts. God will encircle you in the arms of His love. You are choice daughters of our Heavenly Father. Stand with your head held high, Heavenly Father loves you. I thought he gave an amazing talk.
