353/365

Here's our Christmas Card for 2011.. I think it turned out darling! Not too hard when you've got such darling kids!!!



Now that I finally got my cards printed, tonight we went out and passed out treats to a bunch of my neighbors for Christmas. I love that my kids still enjoy running up to all the houses and wishing them a merry Christmas! They are so cute!

I gave out a kit to make Kool Aid Play Dough with this little poem attached to it.  A little cheezy, I know, but I tend to get that way every once in a while.


The years gone by as fast as can be,
Before we know it, it will be 2030!
Instead of diapers and homework running our lives,
We’ll be planning missions, weddings, and our sons will have wives!

Lets not forget these most wonderful years
When missing a toy at bedtime is all that they fear.
As we get older, our kids do so as well,
So make each moment a story they can tell.
A cry. A smile. A hug or a kiss,
Treasure this year and enjoy all the bliss.
Take the time to laugh and to play,
Because all the chaos will soon fade away.

I love the words of Presiden Uchdorf:
“We would do well to slow down a little, focus on the significant,
 lift up our eyes, and truly see the things that matter most. “ 
I pray that this holiday season you make the time to focus on what matters most and enjoy the life we are so lucky to live right now.
 We are blessed and thankful everyday  to have you all as wonderful friends.  Thank you for all you do for our family.

Merry Christmas,
Love, The Larsens
