It's almost here!!

Only 34 more days until Christmas!! I've pretty much done all my shopping. But today as we celebrated Becky's birthday, I thought about how much I miss the rest of the family. I really wish we could all be together! I remember when we went to Grandma's and Papa's house for Christmas the year that Chris graduated. After prayer that night I said to Dad that I didn't want anything to change, but that I knew that our family had grown up and would be having families of there own. I have been so blessed with the choices my children have made in choosing spouses. And it goes with out saying that the Grand children and the most wonderful things in the world!!! We got really spoiled having you all living close. I miss the Sunday dinners and time with the grand kids, But I know that you are all where you are supposed to be. As we get ready to celebrate the birth of our Savior, I want each of you to know that I know he lives and loves each of us. And even tho we are separated by miles, We are an Eternal Family. I am so grateful for this knowledge. We pray daily for each of you, and ask the Lord to watch over you. To bless you with what you need, and to keep you safe. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for. We will see you on the web cam!!! "Remember who you are and what you stand for." Love MOM

This was a wonderful post I loved Sunday dinners especially when we had something really yummy and I ate way to much. Also when you would make me something special.

I just noticed all your Christmas songs! What are you doing not until after Thanksgiving what do I keep telling you.

So can everyone in Utah wait until Jan to get your gifts or do you want me to mail?

I think that it is wonderful to listen to christmas songs early. Chris gets mad at me because I get so gitty for christmas. I love this time of year. I guess I get that from you, mom. We miss you so much. I loved the times that we would sit and play games after Sunday dinner and make fun of Becky. It was so much fun. Hopefully one day we will be close again. We can wait until Christmas, but it was nice to get amy's gift early so we could record Kyler's birthday. We love you again so much.

You know how much I love Christmas. I love having the music on all the time. Thanks so much for all you do for us. We love having this opportunity of being with you both. I know Colton loves it. I miss having my brothers close, it was a lot of fun, even though they always picked on me, but that is okay. I still miss them.
