So there hasn't been much snow, but it is still a beautiful December! There is more to come of course, but we have already had some really good times. December is my favorite. One of the reasons is because three years ago in December I fell in love with my sweetheart, Russell Clark. We fell for each other while helping spread Christmas cheer. :D We chose a family to do secret santa for. We went out shopping for the whole family. We wrapped the gifts. (Russ is incredibly particular about wrapping presents.) And then one night we delivered the HUGE bag of Christmas in secret. We hid behind his truck as the happy grandmother discovered the bag of Christmas presents and shouted, "Thank you! Thank you!"
I recount this story not to glory in a good deed past, but to reflect on the moments I began to fall for this amazing man I now call my husband.
I have learned that the best Christmas times happen when we are giving of ourselves. Russ and I have continued this tradition and have even been "secret santa-ed" ourselves! There is so much to be grateful for as we think of our Savior coming to the world. We are so thankful for his sacrifice and love for us.
We are grateful for our dear friends and loving families especially this holiday season.
Merry Christmas Everyone!! Hope yours is Merry and Bright!
