& open one present each.

i'm so grateful for this time of year.
i love to see the lights at the Temple

peace on earth.

Only one class left with our sweet little sunbeams.
This calling has been my favorite by far.
I love watching Matt with the kids too.
He is going to make such a great dad someday.
I'll miss their sweet little faces, the hugs for no reason, and the funny things they say.
Matt and I always leave church with a big smile on our faces.

I'm so grateful for the Gospel in my life.
I know that the Savior lives & He love each & every one of us.
It doesn't matter where you are, or what is going on, He will be there for you.
I have a testimony of the power of Prayer.
I need to be better about remembering the true meaning of Christmas.
I promise to be better, to not focus on material gifts.
I promise to do more service, & to try harder to be like Jesus.

.Don't give up.

The Atonement is there for us.
Tomorrow is another day.
Have hope.
Have love in your heart for others.
I promise to try, you should too.

I love the glow of Christmas Lights.
Seeing the lights are a favorite part of the holidays for me.
It doesn't feel like Xmas without lights, & the more the better.
