Christmas time is here!

I love Christmas. I fell upon an amazing video that shows the true meaning of Christmas. To see it go to: www.joytoeveryone.com. It's great!
Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
He is the life and the light of the world.
He is the true light that lighteth every man.
He is the Savior of all mankind.
He came unto the world to save the world.
In Him we can have peace and joy!
I love Him.
I hope that we can share His love with others.

Also, we have been loving the snow. It finally started to fall and stick to the ground a few days after my pleading post, and it's beautiful. Scary to drive in, but beautiful. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
If you look closely enough at the snow you'll see a message.

Lovin' the snow


Okay, I think we're--he's--ready to go inside now

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

I'm dreaming of a . . .

WHITE CHRISTMAS!!!

It is already December 12th, and there is no blanket of snow on the ground. I'm beginning to believe in global warming and I'm almost ready to jump on Al Gore's bandwagon . . . almost. I'm just waiting, hoping that some time soon snow will fall and not melt when it hits the ground. Then, when the earth is white, it'll feel like Christmas is coming.
In October I told Todd I wasn't ready for winter because I kind of missed out on summer and summer activities due to having a baby--being less mobile, and more tired--and I think I jinxed us. Sorry. I'm ready for winter and snow now! The beautiful snow will make the cold temperatures worth it.
I found out that my niece in Oklahoma is praying for snow in Utah. She is coming out in a little over a week for Christmas and she wants snow. I think the faith of a little girl can bring on a winter wonderland. Keep your fingers crossed and we'll see!!

Laughing

Everyday I have one goal and it is: to make Henry laugh. What amuses him one day will not the next, so I have to get creative. I have, though, discovered two things that make him laugh consistently. They are tickling his belly/chest/shoulders, and singing songs. I discovered that singing songs makes him laugh when I was putting him into his car seat one night. He hates to be strapped in and so I try to distract him so he doesn't cry.
One night while I was strapping him into his seat I started singing the Barney song, "I Love You, You Love Me", and he cracked up! This is pretty ironic because when I was little my mom didn't allow me to watch Barney. I guess it's because he's really corny and lovey, thus, kind of creepy. I didn't cry about it then. And, Henry laughs at it now. It's great.

This second video is of Todd making Henry laugh by tickling him.
