Happy New Year! We made it through the holidays with lots of fun, family activities, and family traditions!

Here are some fun stories about 4 yr old Joseph...

Yesterday at church during fast and testimony meeting, Joseph decided he wanted to go up and bear his testimony for the first time. He was very reverent and did a nice job, with mom's help. I sometimes wonder if he knows what's going on during sacrament meeting because he's still so little and seems to like to fill the hour with coloring and requesting back scratches and head massages from his mom and sisters. It's good to know he has an idea of what we're there for!

We drove to Farmington to stay with Grandma Sue and Grandpa Dave during the Thanksgiving break for Sarah and KC's wedding. One night while all the adults were out to dinner and the older girls were watching the younger kids, Lexi followed Joseph who snuck into the bathroom and closed the door - almost all the way. She saw him get down on his knees and pray to Heavenly Father that He would take the girl baby out of my stomach and put in a boy baby so he could have a little brother. What a sweet little conversation to overhear! I wonder how many other private talks he has had with his Father in Heaven that I don't know about...!
