Christmas December 25th 2010

This Christmas was short on money and long on Christmas spirit. I did a little re-gifting of some of my keepsakes. I wrote letters to each one telling a little of the history and the reason I picked this particular gift for that person. It was a great experience and my own way to share memories and my love for each person.

Christmas Eve morning we met Curt and Ranon and kids at Grandpas to give them their gifts, then we went down to Scott and Lindys. Nate and Jaymie were so excited. Santa made his annual tour of Bunkerville on the fire truck giving out popcorn and candy canes. Very fun tradition. Crissy and Walker were there and it was great to see them. They are getting married June 18th. I am so happy for them.

Lindy fixed a wonderful meal, ribs, shrimp and pumpkin roll. Nummy! We had a good time playing Apples to Apples. Christmas morning Kody called us and we hurried to their house to watch the Glovers open their presents. The kids had a really nice Christmas and Michelle made us Belgin waffles with her new waffle maker. Michelle had to work from 12:00 noon to 6:00 so Dad and I fixed Christmas dinner. Pat and Craig were here and as well as Paul who had come down to spend Christmas with his Dad. It was so nice to have them here to visit.

It was the most memorable and wonderful Christmas ever. Thanks to my kids and grandkids. Love to all, Mom

We had a really great trip to Williams Az. The lights and Christmas decorations were really fantastic. The kids were so excited to see the trains and Brooklynn kept saying "All aboard!" The train started moving and we were served hot (luke warm) chocolate and the best chocoalte chip cookies I've ever eaten. Mike wanted more so A+ for the cookies. All the kids and even some adults were in their Christmas pajamas. Everyone on the train was in the Christmas mood and sang Christmas songs. Santa came through our car first and gave everyone a sleigh bell.. Parker eyes were ready to pop, he was jumping up and down on the seat. Earlier that morning he wasn't going to have anything to do with Santa and didn't even want him to come to his house.

I would definately recommend this trip we had a ton of fun.

We had a Hulet family party and the kids exchanged presents. I think the real hit was a pillow pet from Brooklynn to Jaymie. She loved it! We played a couple of games and had fun with a white elephant game exchange, I think we'll make this a new tradition. Christmas Eve dinner isn't easy for everyone to come.

Love you all Mom
