Pre Christmas

This is what we woke up to a few days before Christmas, very beautiful to look at, not so fun to drive in.


This is our Christmas tree. Mind you this is what it looked like 2 weeks ago. Now it is nothing but a big, dry, fire hazard. We didn't even dare to turn the lights on Christmas Eve for fear of burning the house down. I'm with Cher on the only buy fresh cut trees theory.

We got babysit my little niece one night and I had to video her dancing to this Napoleon Dynamite Song. This is the song he dances to at the end of the movie. She is sooo adorable. It has been so fun watching her grow into a full blown rebellious toddler. We'll miss her tons when we leave.

Romney

So I've been listening to all the feedback about Mitt Romney's speech and such and frankly I am getting very tired of all of it, the negative and the positive. Why does it matter that he's a Mormon! I'm a Mormon but that doesn't mean I'm going to vote for him, I haven't decided if I agree with all of his political views, sure I agree with his religion but that is about it. He is just like every other candidate but just happens to be part of a religion that not very many people know about. So what! If he can run the country better than all the candidates then that is all that matters. Also just because he is a Mormon doesn't mean he follows everything the church teaches to the "T". I'm tired of people saying that "Well he's a Mormon that means he doesn't believe in homosexuality and is always pro life" Wrong! The Mormon faith doesn't brainwash it's members to only believe in what it teaches. Romney has his own views and beliefs. Just like how everyone of every religion don't always follow the teachings of his or her religion. So basically, get over the fact that he's Mormon. If you are really concerned about his religion then go get the FACTS. The easiest way to find out what a Mormon believes, is to ask a practicing Mormon. Or go to www.lds.org or www.mormon.org. Okay that's all I'm done with my tangent. Have a great weekend!
