As you can see Jackson enjoyed his visit with Santa Claus! We then went to build a bear and Jack made a monkey named Chongo (for all those that are not fluent in espanol, that means "monkey"). He had a great time.
I got my Christmas tree up...it will be a hard Christmas, it was really difficult seeing all of the ornaments for Emma-her baby ornament, the special "Emma" snowman, etc. but it will be nice making memories with Jack in his first Christmas. He is going to be spoiled rotten! I also know that we have a special little angel looking out for us now, it is just really hard not to miss her little impish smile and giggle and sweet kisses and the way she would lay her head on my shoulder and pat my arm. I miss you baby! If you think of it, send some prayers and good thoughts my way-I could use them right about now. We love you all and I am grateful the Lord has provided us with an amazing family and special friends during this challenging time. That is truly on of God's greatest blessings in my life right now-may the spirit of Christmas and the gift of the gospel light our lives this Christmas instead of retail and packages.
I promise not to have depressing posts anymore...Love you all. Here is a picture of our glorious tree! Merry Christmas!!

Hey! you know Iam thinking about you always! So sad...Jackson crying with Santa! I guess I need to get on the ball and take Brooklynn's Santa pic. For the pay it forward thing all you have to do is copy and paste what i wrote on your blog...I will make you something, then you will do it for the first 3 people that respond on your blog! Fun!! Oh, and one of the ER techs at Osborn is my second cousion...his name is Trace,I saw him at Thanksgiving and he said he knew you, so raz him a bit!!
That is the cutest pic of Jack Jack! It's kind of funny when you think about it. Small children start out hating/fearing Santa, then they grow into little kids who adore Santa aand try to bribe him with the promise of yummy treats made by their mommies.
Hey, I read the best talk for this time of year. It's called "Christmas Comfort" by Jeffrey R. Holland. If you can get your hands on it, I highly recommend it. Especially as it pertains to the bittersweetness of this time of year.
