Getting Ready for Christmas

We had a wonderful time tonight decorating the Christmas tree. It was LOUD AND CRAZY but through it all I felt a sweet peaceful feeling that this holiday brings. I am so thankful for my Saviour. I am thankful for His life and His teachings and for His atonement. Audrie asked tonight if it would hurt to put nails in your hands. It made me think of just how much He suffered and how much of it was for me and my silly, selfish wrongs. I also felt a sweet love for my Heavenly Father and for His willingness to send His son down to earth. It's a blessing to know these things and to be able to share them with my family.

I just had to get a shot of this. My cute little family looking at the "polar express" going around our tree.
