Christmas 2013

Scrooge 2013

 

 

It was such a busy holiday season. We drove to Utah and enjoyed 2 weeks with family.  I'll start with Christmas and Nate.  Lisa is getting married!  We are so happy and really like Nate. It was so fun to meet him and spend some time together.

We had a Christmas miracle.  While sledding David hit a jump and flew about 7 feet hitting his head.  Later that evening, he kept complaining of a headache and threw up.  We were concerned about a re-injury to his skull.  Flashbacks of 6 months earlier left my stomach in knots.  Paul & Papa gave David a blessing and we went to the ER.  It was a relatively quick visit  and we were released shortly after being emitted.  As we were in the parking lot the Spirit testified in my mind that the blessing had healed his concussion quickly.  It We were spared a CT scan and lots of money.

Christmas miracle.

 With Josie & Eden every gathering has a play and dancing.  Amber is a great producer and set a time limit to the production :).

 Christmas morning was so fun to all be together.  These are seriously all the pictures I took. 
Present highlights: Paul- Damien Lillard poster, Cyndi- juicer, Eden- craft box, David- legos, Ruthie- baby, Sam & Ben-ambulance cars.

 In November I flew to Utah for the weekend to spend sometime with my mom.  Lisa got engaged, I helped my mom paint the basement and decorate Christmas.  It was the first time in years that all my siblings were together.  It was refreshing to be just a sister & daughter for a few days.  I love my family.  I care so much that I tend to boss them all around trying to improve their lives.  They put up with a lot.
