Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson

Merry Christmas

Christmas morning started at 9am for us. Not too bad! Kailee still doesn't understand that Christmas morning means that Santa brought presents and of course Ellie has no clue either, but it was still fun.
(side note: we like both BYU and the U... Ryan only wears his Christmas pj's once and so I decided to get him the U sweats because one, they are red and two he could wear them all year long!!) 
Kailee lost interest in opening presents after gift number one! She wanted to eat water from her cup with a spoon instead. See the big gift next to her? Yup, she was not interested!
And then when it came time for stockings she just wanted to brush her teeth! See the purse next to her? Yup, not interested! I guess she's easily satisfied!
Ellie was perfectly happy sitting in her papasan having us open her gifts for her! She did seem quite happy to receive a glow baby, soft toys, a book, and pj's!
After presents we got ready and went for our traditional breakfast at Little America with my mom. We didn't make it in time for the Christmas brunch buffet so we had dinner in the coffee shop instead. Yum, dinner at 2pm. Sweet. Not quite what we had expected, but again, it was still fun to be together!
Today we all wore our Christmas dresses/attire to church. I asked Kailee to stand by the tree so I could take her picture and she was so excited! How innocent huh?! I didn't even pose her, she did this all on her own. Silly girl!
And here's Ellie in her papasan, again. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get pictures of both of them together right now. So for now this is it! Isn't she cute?!
