It's good -it's good to have Christmas. It's good to feel some peace and happiness and feeling of hope. Things are tight and tough from all the medical expenses playing catch up. But those things are only important for temporary purposes. There are so many other things like family that are first and foremost important.

I miss my family. We enjoyed Christmas eve with Carls family doing the traditional Christmas Eve here. I made little salt dough people that my mom used to make. I made them for each one of Carls family. I made them to look like each person. I was actually quite proud of myself. I'm not an artist by any means but I really like how they turned out. I'll have to take a picture of the one I did of of Carl and I. (since I already gave everyone there's tonight) They were a hit. For Ben and Zane's I painted the shirts blue and white with a Y on it for BYU. For Carl's I did it green and yellow for the Packers.

I am most excited for the gift I made for my parents. I hope they like it. I was really excited about it. I made it too. This is the first year I have made things and I've had a lot of fun doing it. I made me get excited. I think I will do that more often.

I hope everyone has a Safe and Merry Merry Christmas!and don't eat too much! Just kidding okay maybe just a little!
