Our First Christmas

Christmas came and went way too fast this year! And it was not what I expected, it was much, much more! My amazing husband went above and beyond and proved to me what a thoughtful person he is. I really was not expecting anything from him for Christmas. We don't have a lot of money and it just did not seem like it was going to happen. My husband had all my gifts wrapped the night before and even snuck out during the night to fill my stocking. It was so cute. He got me several presents that I really enjoy; David Archuleta, a cook book, a really pretty necklace, a purple soft bath robe, Wall E and some other little goodies. While I was over joyed at how thoughful and well prepared my husband was, It was so nice just spending time with him. We put in our new CD's and just snuggled on the couch, and then we danced! It snowed like cr-cr-cr-crazy and we braved the snow and went to my parents house where we had a great time spending time with each other. Mom made a great Dinner and got us amazing presents. After that, we went and saw bedtime stories with our friend and then came home, made tacos (the boys wanted to try out the hot sauce that my mom had gotten mike) and watched Wall E. It was a great first christmas and I am so thankful to have a husband that loves me so much!!!!!!! Until Next Year!

Dear Santa, you can skip my house this year, I have everything I need....

This year, has been a great year. It was the start of my new life and it's been an exciting journey with its fair share of ups and downs. This year, Christmas will be different for me. It's the first year that I have been "on my own" for Christmas- that is, this is the first year that I will not wake up in my parents home with a bother or sister and hurry out into the living room rifling through our stockings while Dad showers and puts his contacts in. That's what happens when you grow up. This time it will be different, I imagine me and my husband sleeping in, mike halting opening presents because he still has to wrap mine, opening a couple presents, then me going on facebook or something else and michael heading into the other room to read comics or whatever it is he does. Reality has hit and I am no longer a child. Although things are changing and this Christmas won't be the same, there are several things that will make this a very special Christmas.

1. This is my first Christmas with my Husband. we even got an "Our First Christmas" Ornament, although i didn't even put it up until tonight.

2. Two perfect angels came into our lives and came home just in time for Christmas. I would have given all my Christmas presents just to make sure they got to come home and be with my sister. Luckily, they came home right in time and we now have a larger group to celebrate with.

3. My inlaws will be getting their first home in 15 years. They might not move in Christmas day, but it will be soon.

4. Because I am short on money, I have been forced (in a good way) to really focus on the "True Meaning of Christmas" where as before with all the new gadgets and goodies it is sometimes hard to focus on the most important thing- Christ our Savior. This Christmas I have been able to focus more on the fact that Jesus is the reason for the season and count all my blessings.

Christmas can be a sad time because it is the end of a year; a whole year has gone by. I've been married almost a year! But it is also an excititng time for it brings with it new hopes and opportunities. We shall see what the future holds for us Lambsons. Hope it's great!!!!!!

The Lord Knows What is Best

My sister has had her share of ups and downs the past few months. After going into preterm labor at 28 weeks, the babies have been in the ICU now for 2 months and one day. On tuesday, my sister was supposed to do a Room in with one of her babies. After she stays the night at the hospital with the baby, they can take them home. Well, tuesday she went to the hospital to get started and the ICU nurse that my sister has never seen and has never worked with the babies told her that they were not ready to go home. Obviously my sister was very upset becasue she was so excited to go home with her babies after such a long wait. I was talking to my sister and told her that there is obviously a reason why the babies couldn't come home, we just don't know what it is, but the lord does and he is protecting her. Well today we got our answer.

Yesterday, my sister was complaining of a stomach ache and nausia. This morning she woke up with yellow eyes and later at the hospital they found her stomach was jaundiced as well. They rushed her into the ER where they did some tests and found out that her gall bladder needs to be removed.

Had my sister taken the babies home, she would have had to spend the night at the hospital and would not be able to care for the babies.

The Lord really does have plans for us and he is aware of what is going on in our lives. It is amazing yet still difficult to trust in him and his timing sometimes.

My sister has grown so much as a person these past months and you can see her strenth and outlook on life have changed. We have come to learn more and more that with christ all things are possible; prayers are answered and the priestood is a powerful thing. How blessed we are to know these things and to be able to celebrate the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, who has made all things possbile.

Christmas Time

Well Christmas is officially on its way~ it sure did come fast. I can't believe this year is almost over and I have almost been married one year. Gosh how time flies. New jobs, new friends, new residency, new hopes and wishes. This year has not really felt like Christmas too me. In years passed, I always was so excited for Christmas; I enjoyed shopping and decorating and spending time with my family. This past little while has been really stressful for me and it just doesn't feel like it used to. I think part of that comes with growing up- and growing up I am. I now have so much to focus on and so many worries, I've been having a difficult time getting in the spirit of the season. I'm hoping now that school is over, I can begin to enjoy it a little more. Afterall, it is because of Christ and everything he has given us that we live in this country and are able to celebrate the season. I really am grateful for all that I have been given. While it is so easy to focus on the negativity and financial woes that my little family experiences, the good thing is that there is always hope. There is hope because we have a Savior and with him, anything is possible. I think this year is going to give me the opportunity to focus on the real meaning of the Season and try and be a little better. I am so grateful for Christ and that my prayers are with out a doubt always answered. We have been so blessed this year in ways that I never would have expected. So I wish you all a Merry Christmas despite the stress and uncertain times we live in, there is one constant and sure thing; Jesus IS the reason for the season.
