Christmas 2008

Well, Nick FINALLY got back on Christmas Eve. I really wasn't sure if he was even going to make it. Those who tried to fly from out west were still sitting in the airport. I really did hate it that he had to drive, though. Luckily Carson's Dada has a nice big truck! Speaking of Carson...he was SO EXCITED to see Nick. Carson woke up from his nap to his Daddy and just had a fit! :) He hasn't let him out of his site since.

Nick did get to spend time with his family in Idaho and his Grandparents in Wyoming before he came home. I was happy he got to do that. It wasn't possible for Carson and I to get out there, but maybe next year. And his family sent the nicest gifts home. I received a sewing machine from his mom and dad that I really needed. Colleen taught me how to sew a couple years ago, and I have been wanting to get my own for a long time. So family should be expecting homemade gifts next year. :) And they got Nick an Xbox 360!!! Wow! Nick's parents and brothers (Josh & Joel) and sister (Miriah) are so gracious. They always send the nicest stuff. We really appreciate everything.

The day after Christmas my brother and sister and their families came to my mom and dad's for Christmas. We had such a good time!! By the time we opened gifts the little one's had about had it. They were so tired! We had to hurry Carson's along just a bit so he could go to bed. Fun is hard on the boy!! I'm actually surprised he wasn't hyper from all the chocolate his Aunts and Uncles were sneaking him.

I hope everyone reading this had a wonderful holiday. Santa unfortunately didn't bring me the snow I asked for. Instead it was delivered to the Conner's out West. But, my prayers were answered and I got my Nick home for Christmas safe and sound. And after all the gifts are opened, and our bellies are full, what really matters most is the loved ones we have beside us.
