Grant finished editing our 2011 Christmas video last night, and I think he did an amazing job, I keep watching it again and again, although I may be *slightly* biased. Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

Courage
I picked up our January Ensign the other day, and I was reading some of the articles, and I ended up writing so many quotes down in my notebook, it was so full of advice that felt so needed to me right now. I really liked the first presidency message by President Monson "The Abundant Life", and these 2 quotes on courage were my favorite.
"Whatever you decide to do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide on, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising to tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end requires some of the same courage a soldier needs. Peace has it's victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them" - R. W. Emerson
" Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says "I'll try again tomorrow" "
Speaking of courage... Jefferson has been telling me recently that he gets teased at school for liking the color pink, and "baby" t.v. shows. I feel like he learns things so much better through stories, so I want to have stories to tell him about kids being teased and standing up for themselves and being kind in return. So if anyone knows of any such stories and would point me in their direction, or advice on dealing with teasing and little kids, it would be greatly appreciated.
