Christmas!

So we only have 14 more days! For my family, I say, we only have 8 more days! We are keeping it simple this year - atleast that is my claim. It has to be somewhat simple, since we will be "away" for the holidays = Christmas week in California, and New Years Week in Utah! Fun!

I am missing all of you, my dear friends and family, right now. This weekend we are going to "attempt" to throw our annual Christmas party. I am sad, as I am missing those who yearly attend. I know I am going to miss: funny comments from Dustin and Nat, Sarah and Chris entertaining the crowd, Brian Millers "nice" white elephants, My brother or sister (I don't kow who brought them) dirty little mexican white elephants, Krista Barker being embarassed by some of the white elephants, Derek "wowing" everyone with his LATEST game, (Erin was always impressed - hee hee, this year we are just using an old one) , I could go on and on.. I am now kicking myself that I didn't just grin and bare it and have the party last year! If I could go back, my funny friends, I'd be all over it! You are all invited to come this weekend. We have found a nice family to do the Sub-for-Santa. That is always such a highlight of the holiday season.

When I start to hear my kids (and myself) say I want.... then I am reminded of those who really want, really need things. Even with all the chaos and changes over this last year I am reminded that our family has been blessed so much! I hope that I get our Christmas card out this year. I am trying to - it may be a happy new year card instead.... Hope your 2008 ends great! We love you! And I hope to get cards from ALL OF YOU!! loves... me
