***We got a fun package from my mom and dad about a month ago and ever since then the girls have been constantly asking me, "How many days until December?"
My mom sent them chocolate advent calendars and they couldn't wait to open them! As soon as they woke up this morning they were running to get their new calendars and Hallie asked if I could take a picture of them and put it on the blog. I said, "Of course!"
***We have the house all decorated for the holidays. I love to turn on the tree first thing in the morning and enjoy it all day long. Campbell also likes the Christmas tree... a lot. I had to put the tree on a 8 in wooden box and barricade it in the corner with the couch on one side and the coffee table in front. Not as pretty, but it will have to do this year. :)
***Trevor's parents and sister (Kim) are coming to visit this week. We are so excited! We have been in Kentucky for 6 months now. It seems like it has been a lot longer in some ways and in other ways the time has flown by! We feel so blessed to be here because we know it is where we need to be right now... for whatever reason. It is so beautiful here and we have met so many good people in Kentucky.
***I had the chance to talk to our neighbor yesterday about the Gospel. It was interesting. As I shared some of our beliefs I felt inside a strengthening of my own testimony of those particular beliefs. I don't know if she felt anything but I know that I felt the truth of what I was saying and I felt a deeper gratitude for what I have and a desire for her and her family to have the joy the Gospel brings . I am so grateful.
***I'm teaching Relief Society tomorrow. I'm grateful for the opportunity to teach because it gives me an added opportunity to learn. It should be especially interesting since Trevor works and so I will have Campbell. I'm thinking I will stick him in the backpack and just feed him Cheerios over my shoulder and let him pull my hair for his entertainment. Do you think that will be too distracting? ;) heehee

How exciting for the girls to open their Advent Calendars! :) I remember how much fun it was when I was a kid.
Good luck with your lesson today. Maybe someone can watch Campbell for you. Or, you could put him in that backpack. I can just picture you trying to teach with him on your back. It could be a very interesting lesson! :)
How did your lesson go? You could have done one of those object lessons about trials or something with Campbell on your back. (Not that kids are ever trials, right?)
You are so good at sharing the gospel. I wish I had your courage.
I remember you always gave such good lessons in the singles ward too. I always thought you were a gifted teacher.
I totally laughed at your "muffin-top" quote. Not because I think you have a muffin top, but because I went through the "trying-on-old-pants" thing the other day and had a similar experience. I like pants with elastic waists (not really, but they're the only ones that fit).
