All I want for Christmas....

...I already have!!!

So this past week after a family home evening that we had in our home where we taught the girls about why we celebrate Christmas. Sure they had an idea already...but I just wanted to emphasized in their little heads how important the event really is. I think that some times little kids can get lost with all the talking of Santa, presents, Christmas trees, lights and so on.
But anyways, as I taught them that they had already received the greatest gift of them all and that was nothing in this world that they could desire more, Heavenly Father had given them his son, their brother, to die for them, to pay a price that they themselves couldn't. The ultimate gift. Made me think about what I really wanted this Christmas since I too had received the same gift that I told my girls they had. And with that gift in mind...I couldn't think of anything at all that I wanted...not one little simple thing that I don't already have. I have been so blessed as it is with a wonderful Mom who raised me in the right way, who taught me the gospel of Jesus Christ and to be a good person, a loving husband who takes care of me and is the best father for my, our, kids. I have 3 beautiful and healthy kids who I would do anything in this world for. Sometimes I look at them and have this over whelming feeling of gratitude, for Heavenly Father trusting me to teach and care for this 3 special little kids. Not to mention the best friend that any one could have...my little sister! But not to diminish my so many other super good friends that I have been blessed with the privilege of having them in my life like Jenny! So for this Christmas I want nothing else then to keep the presents that I already have! My greatest presents! May we all this Christmas season think of the true meaning of Christmas and put Christ as center of our celebrations. May we think of a gift that we can give Him, Christ the Lord who has given us His all. Hope I can always shadow His example with those around me.
So here's me...wishing all of my love ones...a super Merry Christmas!

Hugs and warm wishes

I am AWESOME!!!

I told several of my Friends that they were insane for going out there on "Black Friday" not only because is very dangerous...but also because you can get just as good, if not better deals by just watching sales online. Most of them thought that I was the crazy one for not going shopping on that day. All thou I must say that I did entertain the thought for a little bit before deciding to not go. So now here's my chance to prove my point.
I signed up for Hasbro toys e-mail list so they send me the "$10 deal of the day" everyday, I think that there are only two days of deals left, not sure. So today's deals were games, so several of the Hasbro games are going for $10!!! Plus if you spend $50 or more you get free shipping! So take a look at today's AWESOME deal that I got!
Here's the games that I bought, I'm adding by the game the retail value that they have, everybody in the family will be getting a game!

BUCKAROO Game $16.99
WHAC-A-MOLE Game $19.99 Free batteries
PICTIONARY Game $22.99
OPERATION Rescue Kit $24.99 Free batteries
TRIVIAL PURSUIT 25th ANNIVERSARY EDITION $37.99 ( I got 2 of these)
OPERATION SpongeBob SquarePants Edition $19.99 Free batteries
The Incredible Hulk - Hulk Smash $19.99
CRANIUM - Wow $29.99

Plus for the games that needs batteries and doesn't come with the game already you will get a free set of batteries, but you have to make sure to click on the free set of batteries because they wont just send it to you.

So my total retail value was $230.91 PLUS $29.75 in shipping for a
TOTAL OF $260.66!!!
Remember now that ALL the games were $10 so I had 9 games for a total of $90 AND free shipping since order was more than $50.
