"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

Putting up Christmas

PUTTING UP CHRISTMAS
We had our traditional FHE of putting up the tree!  My pencil tree had come earlier that day so I put it up before everyone got home as well as all the nativities.  But once everyone was home, we drove over to Harmons and bought our real tree :).  It was a fun night, putting all the decorations on it.  I love talking about all our memories and hearing everyone talk about past Christmases.  So we put the real tree in the family room and it's SO NICE to not have it crammed into the living room.  And it's fun to have Christmas throughout the house this year.  Molly seemed to get into things and it seemed like she remembered last year a little bit!  So that was fun.  I had Nate be our camera guy :).  Good times.  Christmas can start now!  12-3-18


"First Christmas" ornaments from Grandma Hatch


Molly's animal mobile one from last year!





I'm pretty sure Charity was having a rough night, that night.  Not in the best mood, but look how well she fakes it for the camera!  poor girl.






Nate's always the camera man for this, so it's the one time of the year we see mom :).  I do exist!






Poor Brad was really sick that day!  Stayed home from school and everything!  Poor kid!  I feel bad that we didn't get to wait til he was feeling good.  But look at him!  Such a trooper.  The pictures of him sleeping on the couch in the middle of all the mess didn't make the cut apparently.



Noah's year to put on the angel!  I wonder if Nate will be able to lift him up the next time he does it??







And the holiday specs!  The Cutlers gave us some new ones this year!  So fun!  






This is Luke trying to put the angel on my tall tree :).  Hilarious!
