ANDERSON FAMILY 2012

I feel extremely blessed this Christmas season for my beautiful little family.  We have a roof over our heads, food on the table, good health, wonderful family and friends, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I am so very grateful for the opportunity I have to be a wife and a mother.  There really is nothing else in this world that brings me more joy than my husband and kids do.  Yes....there are days when the dirty diapers and dishes pile up and when the laundry seems never ending.  But, even on those days I consider myself blessed to be a part of their lives.  I am thankful for the perspective the gospel brings to me and for the peace it brings into our home.  I know that my Savior lives and that he made it possible for me to try and be a little better version of myself each day.  I pray that this coming year we can do more as a family to seek out those in need of our service and strive more diligently to do those things that welcome the spirit into our home.

ZOO LIGHTS

Last night for FHE we went and saw the lights at the Phoenix Zoo.

I was worth every penny.  Jace LOVED it!!!! 

A few random pics....

 Jace and I rode the camel at the phoenix zoo!!!

 Grandma Mary gave Jace some new church clothes on our last trip

to Utah.  As you can see....he was thrilled and kept telling us how

handsome me looked :)

While we were in Utah for Thanksgiving we got to meet 2 new babies.

Here is Jace with his cousin Brooke.  She is such a doll!!!

Jace has been LOVING the cooler Arizona weather!!!

Had to put in this adorable pic of Andee girl :)

It brings me sooooooooo much joy to see these to have fun together

Disneyland 2012

We finally took a family vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan and I have not taken a vacation (other than to Utah to visit family) in 3 years.  This was a very overdue trip!  For years I have dreamed of the day when I would be able to take my own kids to the Magic Kingdom.  My dream came true and it did not disappoint!  I am an even bigger D land fan than I already was.  Dan and I had soooooooooooooo much fun with the kids. We are already planning our next trip back.  Thanks Dan for working so hard and bringing home the bacon so we can do fun things like this!!!!!!  Dear Mickey, I already miss you.  See you at Christmas time :)
