its the busiest time of the year

You know the song goes, "it's the most wonderful time of the year. . ." but i think they forgot the verse that goes "it's the busiest time of the year, with the kids needing snow boots, and cards that need mailing and presents for wrapping. . ." not that i am complaining, because it is a lot of fun, but i don't think i have had time to sit still for at least two weeks. so i am making time to post quickly on this snowy cold december 3rd morning. we had quite a storm here on saturday -- we actually shovelled twice and the pile of snow by the driveway is nearly as tall as our mailbox. you should see gilli shovel. she loves to help, although her help usually involves creating random piles of snow everywhere and leaving icy spots in places where she has fallen and laid on the driveway, we love gilli-shaped patches fo ice. nice though that she loves to help.
madi has been a little anxious about getting baptized, so saturday morning we went over to see one of her friends get baptized -- she is so much more calm now. she even got to put her hand in the water and decided it will not be too cold for her. so anyway, those of you who can will be welcome to join us for her baptism the first weekend of march -- and i think she will even be a little excited about it.
chris is getting ready for our ward christmas program -- writing music, getting string players, and all of the things that go with that. at least now this is his calling -- they finally made him choir director he is really feeling joyful.
at this buisest time of the year i hope you all stay safe and warm and have some truly joyful moments.
Love you all!
