It's a Wonderful Life

Besides from being my all time favorite Christmas movie, it is also my mantra and motto, It's a WONDERFUL Life. Here are some reasons why:

It's Christmastime once more, and I got to hang my wreath by my front door...

MY front door... one of the greatest Christmas miracles for us this year is that we are, still in our home. Though miles we may roam, there is still no place like home.

This little girl blesses my life everyday with her giggles and games. From kissing her cheeks I could never refrain.

My husband, Craig who on fun-filled dates takes me, could never a sillier person make me.

As my EedyBelle dances to carols with a tree,

I can't help but feel so blessed to have this family.

There are cute Perkins grandkids smiling ear to ear.

And a daddy and baby that love to be near.

As I gaze at those I love, though in a world of struggle and strife,

I can't help but be reminded it truly is a wonderful life!
(Had to end the rhyme here... it is taking too much brain power... haha!)

EedyBelle after the tantrum... the calm after the storm. All she does is throw herself on the ground, it's pretty funny, but I am trying not to let her see me laugh at it anymore...

This is the first time my mom's whole family has been together in... almost a decade! And how blessed we are to have each other! We all came together to celebrate my cousin Brett's farewell to serve in Canada, Kyle's call to Connecticut, and just finally being all together!

Families in order: Dowdy, Hardison, Dykstra, Kimball/Perkins, Laver
How I LOVE this family!

The first family picture we've taken in over 4 years! Wow, its about time. ;)

I feel most blessed for the birth, life, death and resurrection of our Savior. HE is the one true reason that I have so much joy, without Him, nothing else would matter. Because of Him, I have the blessings I have, and can really say
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE!
