1. Wrestling-No, not the fake tv kind. I think the most fun my kids have is when Dad starts to wrestle them up. Within a couple of minutes Mom is pulled into the fray and we are all all over the floor laughing more than anything.

2. A Week off-I sloughed work this week and spent all my time with the kids. It has been great getting to play with them with their new toys and watching them bond with one another. My kids each have such different personalities and I've enjoyed watching them blossom. We are all so glad to have Dad home for his second 4 day weekend and are really looking forward to celebrating the New Year!

3. Resolutions-I don't normally make lists but last week for Singing Time in Primary I made Party Poppers for the kids to open up. Inside was a scripture to read that gave us an idea of a resolution we could make for 2010. The kids than sang a song that went with it. It has made me think more of what I want to improve this next year. I haven't written them down but I am definitely going into this new year ready to improve mine and my families lives for the better.

Shooting Stars-As I was driving to my sister's house, the other night, to pick up the munchkins I happened to look up into the sky at just the right moment to see a shooting star. I promptly made a wish. I hope it comes true! I remember wishing on shooting stars as a child and I love the innocence that those memories remind me of. How wonderful it was to be a child and to believe that a shooting star holds magic. I am thankful that I get the chance to share the magic with my little ones, and here is to hoping that the magic lasts for many years to come!

Dimples-My kids all have the cutes dimples! They just light up their faces whenever they smile. I just want to eat them up! I don't think there is anything cuter than dimples in a child's smile.
