"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

The Littlest Angel


Chloe was in our ward's Christmas Nativity this past Saturday. She looked adorable and sang very well. She chose to be an angel.

Somehow she ended up on the back row... behind everyone else who was much taller than her, but we were happy when she peeked out and we were able to see her!
Next year, she is hoping to be Mary. I like that idea- then she'd be in the manger and we'd be able to see her cute face the entire time!
