We had a great Christmas last year! I guess it is better late than never. I keep thinking life will slow down a little and then maybe I can catch up on everything I need to do, but it hasn't so I guess I will stop waiting and start doing. G-ma and Bonka were so good to us this Christmas. They had a lot of fun stuff planned and too much really good food. We even had a bit of snow. On Christmas Eve we went to the barn and had the kids reinact the manger scene as Bonka read it from the scriptures. It was cold but really neat. Trying to get the kids to bed on Christmas Eve was a joke. I think it was probably about midnight when they finally fell asleep. When I heard the kids up looking at their presents so excited, all of them, I looked at the clock to see it was only 3:30 a.m. I was so cranky and told them to get back in bed and went back to bed myself thinking surely Rhett would put them back in bed. A few minutes later I realize everyone else is awake and we are going to open presents. We must be crazy. Never again. We had tired cranky kids all day long. Next year they are for sure going back to bed!
We are always sad when it is time to come home. We love being in Eagar and spending time with our families. It will be so nice one day if we could find a way to call Eagar home!
