Well Christmas is over

and I am sad. It was a very nice one. I had gone to the dentist on Tues. thinking I was gonna die!! They took xrays and couldn't find the tooth, they asked about sinuses and I told them I had just got over avery bad infection. They gave me strong antibiotics and pain pills. I was still feeling not quite myself so we just had our family. It was so nice we decided that is how we want it every Christmas Eve. Bryan played the guitar and we sang Christmas songs and carols, read the story from scriptures instead of a play. It was especially nice because I called Mom and her and Glen joined in the festivites via the phone. They loved it and sang with us. Serenity, because of her broken leg, with her family spent the night(she told us later it was really fun to spend the night-remember last year they went home for the night and came back in the morning). They had Josh's room. Cassandra, Abby, Aden, Josh, and Brinae slept in Brinae's room. Serenity was the one to wake everybody up this year!!!! Gerry spent the night too and loved it. He gets very lonely in the nursing home where he lives. We had our brunch and the Elders came. Cassandra put them to work putting Abby's kitchen together. They called home from our phones and then they were off. We played Rockband COuntry version, played DDR-I still got the moves-NOT!
We bar-b-q'd for dinner. We did not want turkey. It was really a great time and I am so excited-are you ready???? WE HAD A WHITE CHRISTMAS!!! i kept calling Mom and telling her it was a blizzard! It was so cold and pretty falling down. love love love it!
Today was the best Sacrament meeting I have been to in like forever. Joseph McCollum got home from his mission and gave an absolutely beautiful talk. It was awesome. He sure is a cutie for those single girls out here!!
Love to all! B

Merry Christmas!

I know it has been forever since I posted. Things have been so hectic and when I get home from work all I want to do is veg and crash.
Cassandra has both liver failure and type 2 diabetes. She is trying to get a hold of it, it has been scary and hard for her.
Serenity has a broken leg and has been off of it for over a month now and it is still not healing.
I have been working fulltime for this last few months, I can't wait for January when my time will be cut way back. I will be able to be mom and teacher again.
Christmas is here and I am homesick for my family. My mom is not doing well and I miss her like crazy. I wish we could all be together for Christmas. i wish i could see my brother and sister, I am missing them so much.
I am trying to get everything done for CHristmas, I still have a few things left to get, then done.
I am hoping for a fun and loving filled few days with my kids and grandkids.
Merry Christmas to you from me I love ya all!
I am going to do so much better with this bloggy thing in the new Year!!(I promise!!!)
