Well it is so hard to put into words how hard and still how enjoyable Christmas was this year. It was hard with my mom still at the care center in Bountiful but we managed to make some changes to our normal traditions so that we could spend Christmas Eve with her. We had a good old fashioned family party right there in her room, we think that most of the staff thought we were crazy, but it was good to be together as a family considering the circumstances. On the up side Spencer brought so much joy to the day, he was so excited Christmas morning when he found a present under the tree in his room and then all of the stuff downstairs. He really made me believe in the magic of Christmas all over again! I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year!

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. That must have been hard especially around Christmas. I have to completely agree with you about little kids bringing the magic of Christmas back, it's so sweet! Looks like you had a great Christmas!!

I'm glad you had a good Christmas and were able to spend time with your Mom. I know I've said it before, but I can't imagine how hard it is.
We had a blast the other night...thanks!!
