Christmas Fun!

Wow, what a Christmas! It came and went just like that, but it was great! It started off with a Christmas party on the last day of school with my class. Boy they spoiled me with all kinds of presents (enough candy and lotion to last me a whole year or more!). Then my parents and me opening presents on Christmas morning. I got SPOILED by Santa as well! He gave me gorgeous black boots for work and church, Wii Fit and Wii MarioKart, and a beautiful necklace to match a pair of earrings I got a while back. Then I got a GREAT picture of Christ from my friend Sally and a cute necklace as well.

Then it was off to Scott and Kim's to see what the kiddos got and for the best surprises of all! :) Little did my mom know that hiding there was the 4-wheeler with a snow plow for her...boy was she surprised! Also, my dad dropped the bombshell on us kids by telling us that he was going to be the Bishop of a new ward they created in our home ward. Wow...you think I would be suspecting it with all of the crazy calls at our house and people stopping by...but my parents hid this secret from us for 3 whole weeks! He was sustained this past Sunday and will be starting the ward from scratch this next Sunday. I know he will do awesome, because he is such a great example to me! I think my parents will miss the singles ward though. My dad was in the Bishopric of the ward I go to and a lot of the YSA's were crying about them leaving! I never really knew how much influence they had there until that happened! Such good parents I have!

Anyway, the last thing I wanted to mention was that Scott and Kim gave me these way fun chimes to use with my class! They didn't come with a bag to put them in, so I made one yesterday and this is how it turned out. Very fun!

I hope your Christmas was a fun one too! Good luck in the new year to come!
