Jimmy * Esther * Zeke * Lilly

Every year for as long as I can remember, my family has gone to Winder Dairy to get scones at Christmastime. It is one of my favorite Christmas Season traditions.

The whole group, 18 of us in all.

I love the snowy winter nights inside a warm home. I love seeing Jimmy as a daddy. I love being a mommy. I love to hear Zeke say a prayer using his sweet prayer voice. I love how it is so bright outside when there is snow on the ground. I love sneaking into Zeke’s room and watching him sleep peacefully. I love drinking apple cider with Jimmy in our cozy robes with only the lights of the Christmas tree on.

Last night was one of those perfectly wonderful nights.

Our ward Christmas party was so much fun! The activities committee did a great job organizing it. They had different stations for the kids to go around to, and a list to check off after you went to each one.

Zeke at the picture coloring station. His good buddy Jack, (on the other side of me), is only 1 month older than him.

Zeke’s favorite station- the cookie decorating station. Another one of his good buddies, Boston, in the orange. Boston is only one month younger than Zeke. There are so many fun little friends in our ward, it’s awesome!

Unfortunately, this year, Santa is definitely not one of Zeke’s good buddies.
