My Nieces Are In Town

My nieces are in town so I will have a lot to blog about (with pictures if I can figure it out) when they have to leave. They are so cute. I LOVE THEM!

Please excuse the day on my Christmas post. I had started typing it on Christmas, but it took me a week to post. 

Merry Christmas!

Paul and I had a very enjoyable day today. Paul went to Thatcher to visit his mom and his brothers and sisters that are visiting, and I stayed with my family. I was not able to Thatcher go because of work. Despite the distance apart we had a great Christmas. I am so grateful for this time of year in which we are able to spend with family and celebrate the birth of our Savior.

Paul is such a sweetheart and got me a beautiful diamond necklace. He also got me a new temple bag because my other one is ancient and needs to retire. It has definitely done its job. It was my mom's old one she gave me when I went through, because she got a new one. He also got me a skirt, a temple book with quotes, and a movie. He is so wonderful and I love him so much. My parents bought us this really nice Belgian waffle maker that I am so excited to use. I really need to have a breakfast for dinner party. My mother-in-law gave me a wash machine for my year supply. I will definitely have clean clothes when the hard times come. I love my mother-in-law.

We went to my Grandma's house in the afternoon for lunch. She makes Christmas lunch/dinner for everyone every year. It was a really nice and relaxing time. I played UNO spin with my mom, grandma, and aunt, and I wasted them. What a great game! Good thing I was sitting on the opposite side of the table so that my mom could not get me back for all the grief I have ever caused her. I gave that opportunity to my grandma to get my mom back. lol. They told me that the only grief she only gave her was when my grandma was teaching my mom how to sew. They both lost their patience. This is the same reason why I don't know how to sew.

Anyways, Paul was able to enjoy the time he had with his family. It snowed the day after Christmas just enough to have a snowball fight. FUN! Everyone was either sick or got sick while down there, and Paul caught the germs. He also got quite the haul this year. He got Spongebob pajamas from his mom and the Presidents and Prophets book. I have been wanting either the book or the DVD, so I am glad he got it. I got him a gift-card to by new shoes that he has been needing. I also bought him a game, a temple bag, a massager, and basketball hoop for our apartment. What a great decoration, right? 

Well we hope that you had an enjoyable Christmas as much as we did. We are so grateful for this time of year and that we are able to reflect on the birth of our Savior and his sacrifice in our behalf.
