December 25th Sunday 2011

It has been a very special day!  Today is the greast Christmas ever, because it is on a Sunday and we were able to go to Sacrament Meeting and celebrate in the birth of the Savior.  I loved being at church this morning.  After church we as a family opened our presents.  The wonderful thing about that is all my children were here from out of town and we were together as a family. I had the privilege of seeing all my grandchildren at some time during the day and all my children.  I don't think there is a greater blessing in the world, then being a part of such a wonderful family.  We all had a great Christmas.  All day I have felt like an abundantly blessed person, just watching all my children and grandchildren, as they opened their presents and were able to be so excited about what they received.   I heard the comment a couple of times made by some of my children, I just can't believe that I have another present to open. I think that they were all so grateful for what they received because it was given with such thanks and heartfelt love. It was a great Christmas for all of us and mostly because we were all together and shared in the excitement as each person opened their present.  Thank-you everyone for this beautiful day, I am just so grateful for each of you and for the Savior of the World who made out this all possible, and gave us the wonderful gift of repentance and life its self.

December 23rd Friday

It has been at extremely busy day at the Bosch Kitchen Center. We just run all day long.  We have had some extremely busy days.  I get home at night and I just want to fall in bed.  But I want you to know that we have had some extremely humbling blessings. Kimberly and Tamara work with me at the Bosch Kitchen Center, sometimes it can make life a little bit better because these 2 are my last.  I know that the time will come when they will leave our home get married and move on.  I am a little concerned about that day because I know that my children and grandchildren want to come see me because Kim and Tam are here to entertain them, but when that changes I know that the visits will be much different.  It will be a change in all of our lives.  I know the time will come soon when all my children will be married.  I hope that they pick men who will love them and take care of them, who will do anything for them.  I received a wonderful Christmas present today.  We will soon be able to enjoy our home even more because we will be able to continue to pay mortgage payments on it, and enjoy being here for a long time.  I know that the Lord is in our lives and I am so grateful for that.  Tomorrow is Christmas eve and soon my children will all be here to enjoy that special occasion with us.
