I love the Holidays

Well, we sort of gave up potty training Josh.  We put the diapers back on him.  He will still occasionally tell us when he needs to go pee, generally at the store or in church.  I figure he does this to get out of the cart or out of sacrament - he's a smart kid.  But he was having way too many accidents at home and I was getting tired of asking him every ten minutes if he had to go potty.  We will watch for more signs of readiness and try again.  I am still looking at summer when things have settled down after the baby comes and the weather is warmer.  We will see.
We are all decorated and getting ready for Christmas.  It is so much fun to have the lights on the house and the tree all decorated.  I love to just sit in the front room with just the tree lights on and just look at the tree and think.  I used to do that as a kid and I have loved doing it ever since.  It is just so peaceful and almost reverent. 
I love this time of year.  Tyler wants to make us "gifts" every day.  They usually consist of him drawing on a piece of paper and then cutting it up into a shape of some sort.  It is fun to see him enjoying making things and wanting to do things for others.  I plan on starting to bake next Friday to get ready for my neighbor gifts.  It is fun sending all my boys out to deliver the gifts and to see them having fun giving things and not just receiving.  Our neighbors are really awesome and always spoil us.  I enjoy giving back to them - hope they like my goodies I'll be making.
I got a new calling a couple of weeks ago.  I am now the 1st counselor in the Primary.  I have never really served in the Primary, so I am learning a lot of new things.  The presidency is made of some really fun ladies and I hope that we can all have a good time serving the kids.  So far it has been really good, and really busy.  I have my first sharing time on Sunday and it seems fairly straight forward, so I am not too worried.  We did get but in charge of our wards Breakfast with Santa this Saturday, so that is a lot of work.  I am sure it will work out fine.  Luckily my past calling will serve me well with putting it all together since the Primary President won't be able to attend.  My only concern is that we'll get everything set up in time.  I guess if it's not perfect, o-well.  I'm sure the ward members will still love us.  At least they better.
