We hope that you are all having a very merry Christmas. We have a new family blog that we are going to use to keep everyone up to date with the Brimhall family.

Sara took the kids to visit Santa and they had a great time, except for Grace. If you look at the following pictures of Grace and Micah you will see their opposite reactions to Santa.







Savannah lost her tooth this morning and is looking forward to a visit from both Santa and the Tooth Fairy, all in the same night!



Also, Micah and Grace can be little monsters and make big messes.







We hope you have a Merry Christmas!

P.S.

The following is a great quote from President Hinckley that helps us remember what Christmas is all about...

We Honor His Sacrifice

"We honor His birth. But without His death that birth would have been but one more birth. It was the redemption which He worked out in the Garden of Gethsemane and upon the cross of Calvary which made His gift immortal, universal, and everlasting. His was a great Atonement for the sins of all mankind. He was the resurrection and the life, 'the firstfruits of them that slept' (1 Cor. 15:20). Because of Him all men will be raised from the grave.

"But beyond this He taught us the way, the truth, and the life. He gave the keys through which we may go on to immortality and eternal life.

"We love Him. We honor Him. We thank Him. We worship Him. He has done for each of us and for all mankind that which none other could have done. God be thanked for the gift of His Beloved Son, our Savior, the Redeemer of the world, the Lamb without blemish who was offered as a sacrifice for all mankind."

(Gordon B. Hinckley, "A Season for Gratitude," Ensign, Dec. 1997, 4 )
