Merry Christmas Indeed


Sara at Chuck E Cheese's. This was her Christmas present from me and Darrel

Sara passed out on Christmas Eve while she was taking a bath. She didn't even get to make her Santa Cookies, but mommy did and Santa sure did enjoy them;)

My Christmas present to our parents! We are due sometime mid summer

Me and Sara at her Christmas party. She had such a great time!!


And as you can see the days leading to Christmas Day have been filled with hope and excitement. This has been one of the best holiday's I've experienced in a long while. I hope next year is even better. Merry Christmas to all!!

What a wonderful time of year!!!

I have learned that the busier I am the harder it is for me to fool with the computer and keep up with my blog. However, we had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we were able to get together with all of our family and even pose for some pictures outdoors. Hopefully we'll get the pics by Christmas so that we can post them up;)

Sara really learned about Thanksgiving at her school and even dressed as a pilgrim during their Thanksgiving feast. Now she is planning to celebrate the birth of Jesus and participate in a birthday party for Him next week.

Darrel is performing very well in school and has been elected to the vascular sonography tract of his degree as he so desired. His first quarter of school is winding down and he is in the top 10 percent of his class. How proud we are of him and his work!!

I am really learning to love my job. I can control my own schedule, and I am seeing that my skills are really helping people gain back independence which they lost through one way or another. Now I am working on studying to take my national boards so that I can continue to work and support my family.

We are so grateful for the many blessings we find daily that have been given to us. I am surprised often at how much our Savior and Heavenly Father really love us! What a marvelous gift we have been given to have the restored gospel in our lives and know that our Savior has made a way for us to return to live with Them if we learn to live Their commandments.
