I've always loved the holiday season & felt the magic it brings. But even when I was little, before I knew about Santa & all that, I had never felt it be as magical as I do now being able to watch my babies experience & enjoy it! And for how little they are, they sure do express quite a love for it already & it just makes me happy!
If the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear, then the next best thing is to go on a ride around the neighborhood or to the Mesa Temple to see the lights with my babies! It's all "Ooooo's!" & "Aaaaah's!" I LOVE IT! Haha yesterday before we went to pick up Shane, I had put the babies in the car & then went to turn on our lights outside. As soon as they lit up, Drake started cheering & said "YEAH! Good job, Momma! Good job! WOO HOO!!!" I turn on our Christmas lights & all of the sudden, I am an AWESOME mom!!!:) Haha if only that would be all it takes for the rest of his life...
They did a really good job helping decorate the tree... They still like to help UNdecorate then REdecorate it to this day! (Jax has a bit of a problem NOT touching the trees...) It's just cuz they love it so much!

So after hearing the boys' reactions to just the neighborhood lights, Shane & I thought they would LOVE Temple lights... & we were right!:)
 |
| Daddy & the distracted-by-the-pretty-lights boys!:) |
 |
| Drake Man & Mommy |
 |
| Any lights that were in arms length were fair game for Jaxon!:) |

| My rosey cheeked, big blue eyed baby boy! |
It's so much fun seeing how in awe they are of the beauty of it all... Not only the lights, but the Temple itself as well. And one thing that fills me with absolute JOY & encourages me that I might be doing
something right as a mother is that Drake recognizes the Temple & knows it's a special place...
Seriously... I got the Christmas spirit!!! And it's all thanks to my Drake & Jax... I'm not gonna be able to sleep on Christmas Eve just like the old days all because I'm excited for my babies!!!:)

| I sure LOVE these guys!!! |
