It's been too long....

So, it's been way too long since I last wrote and a lot has happened...but, probably nothing too interesting for anyone to read. I just posted some pictures of Christmas. This first one I can't help but post b/c he was so excited that his screwdriver fit right in his pants....he even posed for me!!! He is my little best friend. Christmas this year was really all about being with the ones we love and cars, cars, cars for Elias!!!! He loved everything he recieved from us and Santa- especially his new bike!!!! Alli got him a big light for the bike and when he was opening the gift, he said, "ALRIGHT- my own garage opener!!!" It was hilarious! I really could have wrapped socks or brussel sprouts for all he cared- he just liked opening the presents!!!! This yr was a weird Xmas- it rained all day- but it was nice to have the temp drop for a while.






For some reason, Elias has started to play "you can't catch my whole face for a picture"..I don't know how many pics I have had to retake in order to "catch" him and his whole face. He is really developing into a little boy and is such a smartie pants. If I am sad, he kind of panics and says, "no Mom, don't be sad, don't be sad" and gets sad too. If I am frustrated with him b/c he didn't listen to me or whatever, he gets really worried and says "but, are you happy Mom?" He is so wrapped up in how Mommy is feeling-so empathetic.
We had dinner at Bryce's parents house for Xmas and the food was to die for!!! Unfortunately, I have a hard time eating anything anymore. My taste buds are so out of whack with this pregnancy-it's a huge bummer!!!!
Anyways, I just wanted to say that this yr has def been a crazy one for us-like many others. But, what I have really come to realize is that when we had the most, we had the least, and when we had the least, we had the most. For the first time in my life, Christmas wasn't about me getting presents. I know how selfish that sounds. But, this yr was truly sobering & I honestly just wanted to have enough for Elias- to have enough time spent with both sides of the family. Even though this yr has been extemely tough financially, I have sooooooo much to be thankful for. I am so thankful for a wonderful family, the memories of my Mother, a beautiful son and one on the way & for the Gospel in my life. Love to you all,
