The True Meaning of Christmas

I know sometimes I don’t enjoy living in Utah during the winter, but it does have it’s perks. This past weekend Andy and I went to Temple Square to see the lights and such. I love this nativity scene. It is a great reminder of why we have Christmas! It is because this world was blessed to have a Savior born to save us all. He was born in meek circumstances, but He truly has blessed us all. Christmas is a time to celebrate Christ, our Savior!

I hope we still remember to seek as the shepherds and wisemen did.

The amazing thing is that He still lives, and because of Him we can all live forever.
It is also a time to spend with those you love!
(Temple Square is a little packed, so sometimes you get pictures of people you don’t know.)

So, I have seen these easy to do, make you own gingerbread house kits and this year I actually bought one. I figured the kids were a pretty good age to have fun with it and it is supposed to be easy. This is what it is supposed to look like.

At first, ours looked like this

Oh well, they had fun!
