1st day of Christmas

We started our 12 days of Christmas with a trip to see our favorite waitress, Angelia, at Pizza Hut for lunch. The day was to get worse after a 3-hour visit to the garage to find out how badly I had damaged my car from my little accident last week. I wanted to brace myself with some pizza happiness before I got my bad news.



By the time I was finished at the garage it was time to go to the ward Christmas party. Lonnie had to coach so I took the kids myself.


Needless to say, Abbie Hodson did a FABULOUS job putting it together. They put together a beautiful musical number as well. You could really feel the spirit, & it was a lovely evening.




The kids had a great time too. The three younger ones all sat with Santa although I missed seeing Josh! I did manage to get a picture of Kirsten & Aaron. It was so very special because this was the first time they had ever sat on Santa's lap. They kept going back. They just couldn't get enough of him.

Aaron & Casey


Kirsten & Aaron have made their own friends at church too.That is such a nice feeling for me knowing they are welcomed by everyone. Josh, of course, did his normal carrying on. I told him there would be no running around the church so he decided to give horseback rides instead. Oh my.
