Come and Gone

Christmas has come and gone the final hours of 2010 has began.

I'm sure that I have a 2010 reflection post in me somewhere.

But! Our 2010 is ending with family, friends and the baptism of my baby.
It is so hard to type that sentence even harder to believe that we are baptizing our last little one. So the end of this year is going to come and go without a reflection post.

I have chili to cook and family to visit and....

I did want to share with you a quick look at our Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. At 80 years old she keeps the party rocking and we enjoy the time we get to visit with everyone.

(A quick picture before we left. I try to get this picture every year on Christmas Eve.)

Melting snowman was our little Christmas Eve joke since all of our Christmas snow had melted.

(The stockings after Santa's Visit)

This year we enjoyed a brown Christmas. The snowflakes all disappeared and the hopes of a White Christmas were in vain.

On the 26th we walked out of Church to falling flakes. We are now burried under several inches of the white stuff and bone chilling weather. Some of us like it better than others.

As for my New Years Resolutions well I'm not big on New Years Resolutions but I have decided that I am going to try to step in front of the lens every now and then. Give my kids a chance to take some photos of their ole mom. This picture was taken on Temple Square. Expect to see more of these this year. I know you're very excited.

PS - Where did your Christmas Ornaments post go? I was going to post on it. Well, here goes... Hollie loves HER red sparkly ball ornament. I didn't even get to see it before HER ornament was up on HER tree. She took it down and danced with it and played with it (might have even played baseball with it, so thanks for not making it out of glass). Can't wait to see what you make next year. Hopefully more of those minty cookies. YUM. And yes, I did say "next year", because as of right now it looks like we're staying put. It goes back and forth every day. Leaning toward more "back" than forth every day, it seems. But, if by some miracle us moving actually DOES work out, you better bring some yummies to the new place. It's in the same city, so.... yeah.

That's enough. Good night.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
