No Computer

So I have a good excuse as to why I haven't had a new post for a bit, our computer is down for the moment. It is complicated and I don't really want to bore you with the details. Cassandra, my sister-in-law, was willing to let us use her lap top until our computer is up and going again. Thanks Casa!! Just a little update, we are all done with our Christmas shopping and the boys are anxiously waiting for Santa to come. We have a tradition that we do each year with Davids side of the family that to some might seem a little crazy. On Christmas Eve we have a party over and Davids parents house where we eat tons of food and goodies and play games. Around eight that night we put all the young kids to bed so Santa can come and the adults play more games and make candy bags for the kids, then just before midnight we wake the kids up and wait for midnight to hit and when it does we go around the room to everyone and tell them Merry Christmas and give them a hug. After all the hugs we sit down and open up all our gifts. It gets to be a crazy mess in there with all the boxes and wrapping paper and when it is all done it is aroung one thirty in the morning. Crazy tradition but we all look forward to it. It makes it nice because this way we have Christmas morning to go to my parents house and spend that with them and my side of the family. We enjoy the holiday season, being able to spend time with family and friends, decorate, bake those yummy holiday goodies, but most of all celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope we can all take the time to remember and reflect upon what is important this season. I will hopefully have my computer up and running again but until then sorry there wont be any pictures. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas spent with family and friends.
