Funny how our wants change over time. Our changeableness is beautiful to me. Sometimes its painful of course but ultimately it proves that we are not necessarily destined to be anything but that which we choose to be. I like that.
For example. When I was little all I ever wanted seemed to arrive on Christmas morning. Barbies, new clothes, My Little Ponies, and a banana seat bike.
I love the memories but oh how my wants have changed.
My boys keep asking me what I want for Christmas and they are bummed that they get the same, seemingly boring answer time and again.
I want to see them smile. Can words express how much I love being a mom?
What one thing do you want above all this year? From the gut, first answer that pops into your head. Please share!

Quiet. Just for a little while. No tv shows, no horns blaring. No raised voices. I just want a little bit of empty air. Rest for my ears.
Joy. I love your nostalgic photos.
Nothing. Honestly I realized that this is the Christmas where I am officially old because there is not a single "thing" that I am dying to have under the Christmas tree. I just want to spend time with my family.
Will is getting so handsome! He is looking less and less like a little boy! It's kinda sad but awesome all at the same time.
An eternal companion. :)
I found you on Mormon Mommy Blogs. Your boys are adorable and have such wonderful smiles. I love how this post and the latest one talk about change.
I hope you all get your Christmas wishes! :) Thanks for the love!!
