December 16th

It has been a good day. We are finally home after 4 days. The girls went back to school, they are catching up on what they are behind. I had a great day staying home and trying to catch up on come cleaning, before Christmas. We also had a Ward Christmas party this evening. There were a lot of tables set up. They were the long tables and there were probably about 14 set up. So about 7 in each row. We were on table 13. By the time it was our turn to go through the line, there was hardly any food left. Luckily some of my fruit salad was left, some rolls and a little bit of ham, so we at least ate. My son and his wife were there. My oldest daughter and her husband were there and I and my husband and 2 teenage daughters. It was wonderful to all be there together. And we had plenty of desert. All and all it is nice to be a part of a great ward. We had a little program, it was wonderful. We all sang together and Brother Rowley read a beautiful story. Then our bishop talked for a few minutes. It was great to be around people that love us. My miracle for today was just living in this beautiful area, and in such a wonderful ward.
