Christmas is coming!

Is everyone as excited as we are about the Christmas Holiday? We had a great time in Arizona last week for Thanksgiving with our family. Robin was in charge of the meal, and it was so yummy as usual. I think after four full days we might have worn out welcome a little. We had fun going to the movies, golfing, hanging out, playing uno and dominos, (I can't believe we didn't play nertz!!) eating out, going to the mesa temple, which was a first for Jon and I, and running the Turkey trot, a 10k. It was my first one, and I was pretty proud of myself. Jon ran it in 48min., Jillian in 56 or 57, and I ran in 58. Then we went and played soccer for an hour which is actually pretty fun and challenging with the kids now that they are older. Another highlight was going to the ribbon store to get hairbows made for Carley. You go in, pick out your ribbon, and they make the bows for you. A whole store full of ribbon, who knew!
Tonight we decorated our tree which just seems like the official start of the Christmas season. I hope everyone enjoys time with their friends and family, and stops to think about our savior Jesus Christ, his birth, and what a special thing it means to all of us.
