Anything Interesting Today?: Remembering Bizzie’s Birthday

But before I do, here is another quote to keep the true meaning of the Holidays alive!

The Christmas Spirit

"Born in a stable, cradled in a manger, He came forth from heaven to live on earth as mortal man and to establish the kingdom of God. During His earthly ministry, He taught men the higher law. His glorious gospel reshaped the thinking of the world. He blessed the sick. He caused the lame to walk, the blind to see, the deaf to hear. He even raised the dead to life. To us He has said, 'Come, follow me.'
"As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not for one fleeting day each year, but as a companion always. We shall learn to forget ourselves. We shall turn our thoughts to the greater benefit of others" (Thomas S. Monson, "In Search of the Christmas Spirit," Ensign, Dec 1987, 3).

Now for Bizzie’s Birthday. At the end of October the girls and I headed up to Washington to spend time with Grandma Martha, cousins and Aunts & Uncles. We had a wonderful time and I will post some of the other pictures from that trip later. Bizzie was ecstatic to spend her birthday with Grandma Martha! And Grandma Martha had a heyday making it as special as she could for her. Together those two picked out decorations (interestingly enough Bizzie chose the interesting combination of Halloween, princess and rainbows….) and made the house beautiful/gory for her cousins who would be celebrating with her. Then Grandma took everyone to this AWESOME “Alice in Wonderland” theme corn maze, Bizzie couldn’t stop talking about how fun it was. Finally she got dressed in her birthday outfit and the cousins celebrated her special day with a moving rendition of a Salsa Birthday Song…I’m pretty confident she felt very special!
