January 2015

Where does time go.  The kids are growing up so fast.  KJ is playing basketball this year and loving it, he has really progressed in his reading, and he loves his little sister.  Alicia chews on everything, loves finger foods, is getting brave enough to let go and stand on her own for a few minutes, actually getting chunky, loves to say da da, KJ, up, and wave hi. Darrell and I celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary.  We enjoyed some shopping and lunch together.  Life is great.  We are loving every minute of it.

Wow what a month December was.  We went to California for the Footlocker championships.  It was a blast.  We took James to Disneyland for his first time.  We got sealed in the Mt. Timpanogos temple to Alicia on December 20.  It was so amazing to see my kids in the temple and all dressed in white.  It was really neat of the sealer to include KJ in the sealing by talking to him and asking him questions and letting him be a witness.  What a wonderful day to see my eternal family together.  On December 21 we gave Alicia a name and a Blessing.  Then we had family all Christmas break around to enjoy Christmas with.  Darrell's family was all together for the first time for Christmas eve since 1997.  The kids acted out the nativity story and we read The Night Before Christmas.  It was a great time with family and lots of activities done.  Christmas day is always a blast to see the kids faces as they open up their gifts and enjoy them.  It is also a great time to remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.  He is the greatest gift of all that was given to us.  What it was a great month. Now on to a New Year full of great adventures and blessings.
