On the 4th Day of Christmas...

By -

Advents! I LOVE counting down the days until Christmas- maybe that's childish- but I remember having the little candy advents with waxy chocolate pieces where you opened a door each day and enjoyed your little piece of chocolate. I guess I still love it! 


This first advent my mother-in-law made for us last year. It is AMAZING! Plus, it has cute little drawers where you can put candy (hence why I like it so much)!

This next one came in a package from my mom. It's a sing-along advent. Almost every day (some days are ornaments or stars) we sing a Christmas song.


Finally, I made this and attached are pieces of paper detailing our activities for that day. This way we can stay focused on the true meaning of Christmas. Our Savior, Jesus Christ. Yes, I love the candy, but really- I think this advent puts me most in the Christmas Spirit!


Glaedelig Jul! (Danish)

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day.  Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her.  Love you all!

Delivery Day

Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
