We loved having Marisa for Christmas.  It was super relaxing and fun!  We missed Brandon, Kayla and Ellie though!!!!

Loved seeing Aquaman on Christmas Eve.  Plus an unplanned shopping for and sneaky drop off of groceries to a needy family in the ward!

In fact we were so relaxed I barely took any notes or pictures!  Oh well!

Ready to conquer some goals and make this year better than the last!

Happy Busy Holidays!

I have no idea how we got to December already! AND only about a week away from Christmas!  Marisa flies in this Thursday!  We are so excited to have her come!  We are sad Kayla, Brandon and Ellie wont be with us- but we are sure are glad we got them for a long time at Thanksgiving!  Maybe we need that new Facebook Portal thing?

We are also so glad they are safe after their accident.  They hit a deer and the car is a mess, but they are all safe! Kayla is finishing up her final semester this week, right? Then she has an internship left.  Brandon will be done in April. Crazy!

We had a super icy day here and Tyler had to work.  He flew into the curb and cracked his hubcap, but he was safe.  Yikes!

Tyler is finishing up his finals for his semester at Kirkwood and seems to be enjoying his classes.  He loves his job doing before and after school care with Waypoint. In fact, this week his supervisor said that she doesn't know which building to assign him to because everyone just loves him!

Alayna has been so busy that I barely see her.  She has been doing service projects with the honor society (like wrapping gifts at the mall.) Plus she was accepted as part of the stage crew for the hi-Style showchoir.  She is really enjoying it!  They have had lots of late night rehearsals and last night they had “Get in the Spirit.”  Also, she has apparently been hogging all of the artistic talent! AND its crazy to think that in just a little over a year she will graduate!  Where did all that time go?

This has been a tough and crazy month for me (no shocker there) but I am happy to have a job I love and wonderful people to work with!
