I am here at work tonight, and had some spare time, so I thought that I would take a few minutes to catch up. It has been crazy around here for the past couple of weeks, as I am sure it has been for all of you too. We have had a wonderful holiday season so far, but it has been busy. Tonight Erin, Kelly, and Carter came over and we had the traditional night before Christmas dinner... junk food. It was fun to have them over and get to visit. We had some WILD kids on our hands. They are so excited for Christmas, they were being pretty energetic. Poor Reed couldn't keep his mouth closed long enough to eat. He has eating ADD. He takes SOOOO long to eat because he is talking or doing anything else that seems more interesting. Kelly's mom gave the kids Lifesaver books, a dollar, and some chocolate candy. She is so sweet. The kids loved them- I remember as a kid getting lifesaver books a few times. That was a big deal. It started snowing at dinner time, and Kelly was teasing them that Santa may not make it through the snow. He had McCray going for a little while. It was almost a relief to be able to go to work and let Kent deal with the energy. Of course, I am just kidding, I would have loved to get to be at home.
This weekend we went to Cedar City to visit. It was a quick trip, but we are so glad that we at least got to go for a little while. Gina and Brent were there from Virginia, and it was fun to get to visit with them for awhile. Poor Pam got really sick- not fun when your kids are there. Hopefully she will feel better for tomorrow morning. We really enjoyed seeing our family. On the way home, McCray said, "That was the shortest vacation I have ever had." It was short, but worth it. We had a nice time.
The week before, Pam and Roland came to visit. It was so nice to have them come. Poor things, they got put to work. I was trying to make quilts for my boys beds for Christmas. Pam ended up having to do most of it. Pam, Roland and Kent did most of the tying. They turned out really cute, and I REALLY appreciated all of their help. I think they will love not having flowered bedspreads with pink silk backing on them. They never complained- probably didn't realize their room was girly.
Well I have rambled. I am bored. 1 more hour, and I am out of here! YAHOOOOO! Merry Christmas tomorrow.

thanks for having us over last night, we loved it. it was fun to see the kids so excited. i'm glad the FAA cleared Santa in time for him to make his rounds last night...
It was the shortest vacation ever, but we're sure glad you made it! I'm also glad that you ended up staying so long (though it probably made for a little scary trip in the snow at night). So good to see you! Merry Christmas!
