Christmas Tree

We started a family tradition of cutting down our own Christmas tree this year. It was a challenge to get out the door, and I was a little worried that it was going to be a lot of work with only a little fun, but luckily I was wrong. It was a lot of work, but it was also a lot of fun and totally worth it.

Hot Cocoa! Lynn's idea and a great one!

Lynn and Ali found the tree and came back to get the rest of us to go see it. The kids had fun yelling, "timber" as Lynn cut it down. Then we dragged it back to the truck. I was glad we had the 4-wheeler.

And look how proud these 2 are of their tree!

I typed this 100 times (ok, i copied it and pasted it 100 times) because I really do love my children so much, but sometimes it is hard to remember how much I love them when I am cleaning up the spilled box of crackers for the third time in 2 hours, and when I am putting them in time out for the fourth time in 30 minutes for bugging Weston, and when I am cleaning all the sheets again today even though I just cleaned them yesterday because of wetting the bed and leaky diapers. They are everything to me and I love them more than anything but sometimes it is hard to remember how much I love them when I am making them a snack 2 minutes after dinner because they are "starving", and when they color on all of my bills and relief society papers and a million other things. I really do love them :)

I know all mothers can relate. I know what is really important, but sometimes it is hard to remember when everything in the house is a tornado! Wish me luck - I am going to go tackle this tornado while trying to remember how much I love them!
