Happy New Year!! So I was downstairs reading Come Follow Me for the first time and thinking about the New Year and was trying to think of a good New Year's resolution. I thought about wanting to connect with family members more often and thought about what would be a good forum, when I remembered this blogspot that hasn't been touched in 9 years! Wow! So I thought I would give it a try and see if all of my peeps would be interested in following :) My goal, is to update, at least once a month and add a few pictures to make things interesting. To recap December...some of the joys and struggles. Joys: Being with family. We had a family dinners on the 16th and the 23 and got to see most everyone on one of those two Sundays. It was fun to see Benson and David together for a bit on the 16th. I got a picture of these two cuties, my babies of 2018! I really enjoyed having Kara, Kendra, Brad, Kristin, and Moayeed and kids at church on the 23rd. I always love the music and it was extra special to be able to sing with my Primary kids one more time. This was probably the best part of Christmas for me this year (accept for my Christmast surprise of having Jared, Amy, and Benson "underneath my tree" Christmas morning). I wasn't expecting them so early, and it was such a fun surprise! Christmas Eve was "interesting." Sophia didn't really participate in the Christmas reenactement of the Christmas Story, liked I hoped. It was kind of humorous to see her view of things.. She loved the Angel wings and promptly became a butterfly for most of the story..Who knows? There very well may have been a butterfly there on that first Christmas night! T It actually did happen in the Spring! :) It was fun to be with the Ahmeds, Kara, Justin, and Dad! Dad did a good job playing the guitar for some Christmas carols and I enjoyed mixing it up with having the Turkey dinner and some Middle Eastern food. Thanks for everyone's efforts to be a part of Christmas day, despite my Christmas breakfast melt down! It was so good to have your all together for a bit! I loved the thoughtful gifts and time together. The Mary Poppins movie was fun for those who were able to end the day with that event! I was sad to say good bye to my Uncle Bill. He was such a fun Uncle and always made everyone feel so welcome. He died, December 31th, at around 3:00 am. I was glad that Debi and I, along with Eric and Steve, could go say our goodbyes the day before. It was fun to have Debi and Steve up stayng at our house. We had a couple of good game nights and kept our New Years Eve tradition of having Chinese food. Happy that Jared and Amy and Benson could join us!
Happy New Year everyone! I am excited to see what the next year brings!! My biggest New Years Goal is to focus on Joy! So I will keep you posted :)
