We had such a nice day yesterday and I don't want to forget it. I love church on the Sunday before Christmas and this year didn't disappoint. We heard great messages and beautiful music, including the kids singing a song with the choir.
Later that night we did a family home evening about Christ. Caitlyn and Jonah sang a song and the kids acted out the nativity. Caitlyn and Jonah were so excited to be Mary and Joseph and Caitlyn was thrilled that Wyatt was the baby Jesus. Something about acting out the nativity really brings the spirit. After we read some scriptures about Christ and then we all bore our testimonies. I'm always amazed by Caitlyn's testimony. She is wise beyond her years and seems to really grasp the gospel and the scriptures. She bore a beautiful testimony about our Savior and said she was happy that our family was sealed together in the temple. Jonah didn't want to share at first, but then he decided to and bore the sweetest testimony about Jesus and how much he loves him. In his prayers this week he keeps saying, "please help Jesus to have a fun birthday." It was by far the neatest family home evening we have ever had. Most of our lessons consist of us stopping every minute to try and get the kids to pay attention. These kinds of nights are the ones where you realize that it is all worth it and the kids are understanding more than you think.
I'm so grateful for my family and that we have the gospel in our lives. We have had a wonderful December and have had a lot of opportunities to slow down and focus on Christ and the things that are really important.
