Christmas Party last Sunday ;-D

Sunday was a very relaxing and peaceful day. The first thing on the days agenda was going to Oliver Olsen's blessing at Jeff's Parent's house. It was really nice to get to hold my little grandson after the blessing. He is such a sweetheart and I haven't been able to spend enough time with him because I have felt sick the past couple of months. It turns out I was working on an ulcer and I thought it was some kind of extended swine flu. Well, once I knew what it was, I was able to combat it and know that I was not contagious with something that would get my grandchildren sick.

After the blessing I went straight to church and set everything up for my little Primary class. We had a very special lesson on the Christmas story and the birth of Jesus Christ. I team teach the little 3 year olds and they are very precious to me.

After church I went home and had a bite to eat and got out the computer and started to work on my Geneology. Kristy called me from England and it was really wonderful because she has been doing some Geneology also and helped me find a marriage certificate and Census record that had one of our great-grandparents on it. I love the computer and all of the wonderful information that it has with the ability to not only stay in touch with the family that we have, but to find our distant relatives and to get to know them. Kristy and I were on the phone for over an hour working and talking girl talk ;-D

I got to the Christmas party a little late and there were a lot of people there, with more coming. It was held at Gary's house and it was really crouded but there was lots of love with children and grandchildren everywhere. Rory, Erika and their family drove all the way from Texas to be there and will be here until the Jan 2nd.

It just makes me want to spend more time with individual families because they are all growing so fast. I get so busy with work and the things that need to be done around the house that I never get to see many of my family members as often as I would like. That is something I plan on changing this coming year though.

Well, it is time to get ready for work and I want to get something done around the house too. I also need to get my little white-elephant gift ready for work today.
