Christmas

This Christmas was much easier having Jaden gone than last year.  I was able to focus more on the other kids and make Christmas more fun and meaningful for them.  By doing this, it made the holiday more fun and meaningful for me.

 Putting up lights this year was scary!  I thought for sure Nate and Dallin were going to fall.  I actually stood under them to catch someone (after I snapped the picture).  Notice Lauren holding onto Nate's arm to keep him from going down?!

 The highlight of the day was talking to Jaden.  Nate had to work, so we went to the station so we could Skype and be all together.  The connection wasn't that great, but it was so good so see and hear him.

Jaden and Jessilee Staggee worked together to get this blanket made for me for Christmas.  Payton was in on the secret, so she video taped me opening the mystery package.  It made me cry I was so surprised.  I had a really good holiday season this year!
