Merry Christmas to all - and to all a Good Night!!

Another Christmas Eve almost over - sniff, sniff! The kids are very excited about Christmas morning! I'm tired!! We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Day - and we can't wait to see our family and friends in Utah - and wish we could see ALL of our family and friends all over the country!

It's beginning to feel alot like Christmas...

4 days left - I'm so excited!!

Aha - that's how you do that!

I just figured out how to add blogs that I want to follow! Yea! Well, 6 days until Christmas Day! I hope you all have a fun and happy Christmas season and the best New Year ever! The kids just had their last day of school today, except for Megan who is already finished with her first semester at UNM - good girl!! At the moment, Taylor is obsessed with making the playroom into a giant tunnel maze - pretty cute! Josh is managing okay with his broken shoulder, except for the small problem of not being able to work - not good! If anyone has any suggestions for jobs that can be done one-handed, let us know! Tahra's birthday is today (XOXOXO), but I won't tell you how old she is, because then you might figure out how old I am!! I talked to Greg earlier today and he was trying to get home from work - took over an hour to go 2.5 miles - lots of snow in Utah, surprise, surprise! My sister, Kristin, and her family just got to our parents house in Florida (at least I think they arrived by now!) and I'm very jealous!! Can't wait to go to Utah and see my family!! 

This is a video of Jaime's solo for the Rio Grande Youth Chorale Winter Concert. It is called "Iraqi Peace Song" It's actually a lullaby. She did a great job, as you can hear, and she got many compliments, which made her feel better since she said she messed up, although we couldn't tell! She's really enjoying being in the choir and we enjoy going to the performances to listen.

Megan is looking at different apartments close to UNM to move into in January. Jaime and Emma are looking forward to that, since they will each have their own room after Megan moves out! I'll miss her though!! Josh is busy giving me more gray hairs - he got thrown off his motorcycle and broke his shoulder in 2 places and got some pretty bad road rash on his side. He's recovering, but still pretty uncomfortable. I'm just very grateful it wasn't worse. (Greg, be careful too!!) Greg & Leanna are busy working and going to school and trying to keep their heads above water financially - typical married student situation! Tahra & Jonathan are doing well at their jobs - both got a raise - yea!! Have I mentioned how blessed we are to have such wonderful a wonderful son-in-law and daughter-in-law?? We just love them so much and are so happy they're part of our family! Taylor is doing great in 2nd grade and is preparing to be baptized in February! He's waiting for basketball practices to start - hopefully soon!! We're all looking forward to spending a week in Utah after Christmas to see all our family there! Never enough time to visit everyone I want to for as long as I want to though!
Well, hope you're all doing well and listening to some great Christmas music!!
