The family and I headed over to the Musil's house around noon on Saturday. We were supposed to be having a Christmas party there but didn't end up doing it that day. We went to see Grandma and Grandpa Swenson (Which by the way Grandma Swenson finished painting a beautiful picture of my kids. It was like the one this page that is the 4th one down. Just a little different. I can't wait to get it so you can see how beautiful it turned out. It still had one more coat of medium to put on it and for it to dry so I couldn't take it home with me). We hung out for several hours and then went back to Pam's house for dinner. 
We have a magic dog that can levitate rubix's cubes. Nate bet his sister that he would be able to do the rubix cube in under 5 minutes by the time he saw her next. Which he can now.
The next day we went to church with the Musil's where they had a wonderfully spiritual Christmas program. And Pam taught in Relief Society. It was nice to get to go considering i haven't been in years. She taught on Mary the mother of Jesus. It was a great lesson. Could you imagine being the mother of Christ? What an amazing women she must of been. She handed out a poem that I thought was wonderful so I am going to post it on here.

These long and precious months he had been
Heartbeat of my heart
And breath of my being.
Now he is here,
And he is whole and perfect.
I have borne a son.
That he is the Son of God is no less a miracle to me
Than any who believe it so.
Oh, every birth is a little miracle-
A miracle of faith and love
And God's own wondrous working.
Yet none so great as this;
For Gabriel said, "That holy thing which shall
be born of thee shall be called the Son of God."
I wonder why this humble place-this stable.
Does it portend the life of God's own son,
Amount the lowly one of earth?
Perhaps.
Yet kings will bow before him,
And wise men listen to His word,
And little children love him.
The babe is quite now.
Already my moment fades.
Let earth receive her King.
The Son of God is born.
It gives me the chills every time I read it. What a different perspective that poem gives to mothers of the Savior birth. 
It was also a special day because my niece Olivia was blessed. All of her aunts, uncles, and cousins were there. Also her grandparents and great-grandparents were there to celebrate her birth as she received her special blessing.
After the blessing and dinner we opened presents. Nichole and Natalie got a gift card from Grandma and Grandpa Musil.
Ella got a Piggy Bank that keeps track of the money that you put in there.
Tyler got books although he didn't want to have his picture taken. Olivia got a bouncy chair. She slept through the whole thing. And check out Matt's face. What a dork.
We got to see Aunt Haley. We haven't seen her for several months. She had been away to Law School in Vermont.
Grandma and Grandpa Musil playing with Ella and her new toy.
Nate got a calender with Chickens on it and I got a ward cookbook. We both got $100.00 from his parents. Tessa and Haley both made us goodies.
The girls showing off the hair barrettes that Aunt Haley made for them. Tyler got a spiderman school set.
