It has been a great month. Of course what makes it great is that Paul was home for most of it. I love it when Paul is home with us. We also went to AZ to spend Christmas with family and that was great fun. We all got together on Christmas Eve for our FHE and the focus on the Savior. We then opened gifts from each other and the granddaughters received presents from their Grandparents. Our youngest granddaugther Milan loves shoes (takes after the girls in the family). When she visits at my house she gets out my shoes and walks around in them. So for Christmas this year we gave her shoes. She now owns her own pair of high heels (well as high as the dress up shoes you can buy). She was so excited for the shoes and she is such a girl when it comes to things like that. We got Heaven our other granddaughter a purse from the mammal store in DC. She will not find anything like it and we filled it with lip gloss and nail polish. I have to admit it is more fun to shop for the granddaughters. We spent the week visiting family and on Saturday we had a Harris family get together to celebrate our parents 80th birthdays this year. Bar-b-que chicken and lots of other food. We ate so much this past two weeks that when it comes time for dinner we all look at each other and are not much interested in finding something to eat.
We spent New Years Day together as a family (those that were in New Mexico) and had a Mexican Fiesta including homemade tamales from our daughter-in-law. Time is growing short and on January 5 I have to put Paul back on the plane to DC and that is such a bummer, but he already has his ticket for the flight back in May for Jacobs graduation on the 23rd. Jacob also is now 18 and we took him out for dinner and gave him the you are now an adult speech. One high note also this last month is that Jacob received his patriarchial blessing and that was such a great experience that Paul and I had with Jacob. It has been a busy month and now that a new year has begun I am grateful for the blessings in my life.
