MERRY CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I hope that everyone had a great Christmas Season, and that you are ready for 2009! Christmas was great this year. The kids are at the age that they actually play with what they get, either because they are old enough to play with the toy and not just the box or paper it was wrapped in, or they get what they want and so they are happy! We did one big joint present for the kids (we caved and bought a Wii) and then they also got a few little things. It has been great! I think the only time the Wii is turned off is when they are sleeping!
Now the fun begins for our house, you see we have 2 birhtdays in 2 weeks! The fun part is now, trying to figure out what to get them for gifts! We cannot possibly out do Santa!

This is our families 3rd year of getting together to make lunches for the homeless in downtown Salt Lake City. It started out as a Young Womens project for my niece and has kept going from there! The kids love doing it. It is a great way for them to realize all of the blessings that they have. Even though when we are putting the Ding Dong's into the lunches, Baylor says "No fair! The homeless are so lucky to get Ding Dong's!" I hope that is stays a tradition for many many years to come!
