I know I know blog neglect! I feel like my world has been crazy the past couple of weeks and here's why... I got a new calling! I have been serving in the primary of our church for the past 10 years. I really love the kids and feel grateful to have been able to work so closely with some really stinkin cute kids. A couple of weeks ago the Bishop called me in and ask me to serve as the Young Women's president. WHAT??? Deer in the head lights was about all he got for a few seconds. After he let that sink in he told me how they came up with my name and I accepted.
I honestly feel grateful for the opportunity to serve these young women and pray that our presidency will be able to help these girls learn about life and how to live it.
I was really sad to be leaving the primary I have been serving with some really great women whom I have grown to love and respect. It will be weird to not be with them each Sunday. Thankfully these women are also my friends and that doesn't change no matter where we go on Sunday:O) I am feeling like a fish out of water and totally inadequate. The previous young women's president was really a remarkable women. Intelligent, loving, kind, and can I just say hysterical! So needless to say I am feeling a little out of sorts. Thanks heavens that the women the are serving with me are absolutely amazing. So with that being said I have got my big girl panties on and my running shoes and I am off to a new adventure!

Mckena asked for a live cub! Totally on the list way to go Mckena!
Ella was happy to just sit on his lap:O)
The twins made an appearance for a picture. Introducing Payton and Pasiley. After a 5 % chance of living and a rough start they look great. ( thanks for the prayers on behalf of my niece and her family)
Giving some love to cousins before we head home to visions of sugar plums dancing in our heads!
The little people waiting patiently for the OK to head down to the tree!
Preston with his Nerf gun he HAD to have
Abbie's new skateboard
Mckena with her Live cub she can't believe that Santa was able to make one since mom couldn't find one :O)
Ella really just wanted to eat the paper but was happy with the toys that make noise.
After the presents were open we had the traditional chocolate milk and cinnamon rolls and played like crazy!!!
After breakfast the kids all got to sit on Santa's lap and get a present. Since Mckena has a severe aversion to people with facial hair (what the ...??) she refused to get in the picture.
but never fear Santa knows how to fix everything. So he walked right up to Mckena and gave her a present and asked her what she really wanted for Christmas. To which she replied in a whisper..."a live cub."
