Pre-Christmas Activities....

We have had so much fun on the days leading up to Christmas. My extended family had our party at my Grandma's church. My Aunt Marjean and Ellen always do a wonderful job planning it. The kids acted out the Nativity while Aunt Marjean read it. The kids played bingo and won prizes. Grandma Prestwich was there looking as beautiful as ever. She says she is ready to be done with this earthly life. She is losing her memory, and it is very sad. But we were happy that she was able to be there.
During our Christmas break we went sledding and spent the night at my brother Adam's house. I was supposed to take Kyle and his friend Jaxon to a wrestling tournament in Logan, but the roads were too bad, so I turned around and went back to Adam's. We spent the day playing their Wii and hanging out. It was so much fun!
Spencer and Nicole Luth came up from Las Vegas for a wedding. We were able to spend some time with them. We took the kids to Jump on it and The Mayan for dinner. Then we drove up to Temple Square. It had been raining, and I didn't really want to go walk around in the rain, but we drove up anyway. The second we got up there the rain stopped and it didn't start raining again until we got in the car to come home. It was so beautiful and really helped me get in the true Spirit of Christmas. I am so thankful for Christ in my life!
