daily december: 2

My parents headed out this morning to get back to Colorado and avoid bad road conditions. We always love having them here, especially because Mom does things like wrestles with my children and encourages me in my dreams and Dad makes yummy breakfast and fixes broken toilets. Thanks for wanting to be with us, Mom and Dad, and making the long drive.

Emma got to sit up on the stand during church which she thought was great. The boys were actually fairly well behaved too. Hallelujah!

In the evening, the Daniels all came over to celebrate the December birthdays. Today was actually Brett and Rachel's birthday. Heather's is on Saturday.


We enjoyed cake and ice cream, playing Ticket to Ride, talking and wrestling Uncle Brett. He is home on leave right now from Afghanistan.

Dave and I truly enjoy hosting our family. We feel so blessed to have a home that can accommodate everyone and to have family around that enjoys each other's company. Yes, we are so very blessed.

is it so weird that you have a child that got baptized? I can't imagine. Looks like you had fun with all the family there.

Okay, so I wrestle with the boys, but nothing like Uncle Brett! Look his face.

We have Settlers, but I have been wanting to try Ticket to Ride.
Looks like a good time around your house.
