Where have I been, you say?

I have dropped the ball on this blogging thing but like everyone else it has been crazy at my house. So, for my own history, I will now try to give a short rundown of the past three months. Here goes.
For Halloween, M was a pink fairy, E was Dorothy of OZ, K was a cheerleader and S was Spiderman with a Superman cape (that is very important!)When I can figure out how to download the silly camera, I will post a pic! :)
Another fun thing (totally kidding, it was not fun at all) that happened, was that my 82 year-old Grandma fell and broke her hip a couple days before Halloween.
The youngest granddaughter (for my side of the family) got baptized in October.

In November, Steve and I celebrated our 14th Anniversary and around this time, my brother announced that he was engaged and would be getting married around Christmas time. (He has been divorced since end of July). Then they decided to get married the day before Thanksgiving. Grandma was still in rehab for her hip so my mom and I ate Thanksgiving dinner with her in Brigham City at the rehap center.
At the end of November, I was able to help out with the Festival of Trees in Salt Lake City. I dipped 300 turtles for the Festival (for the committee that I'm on) and then was able to dip on site various yummy things for the public to buy, such as grapes, potato chips, cinnamon bears, pretzels, oreos & marshmellows to name a few. It was very tiring but very fun to be involved with.

In December, I could not get my mojo for Christmas and I was seriously Bahhumbug. It literally took all month for my Christmas spirit to kick in gear. I was determined to dip my candy this year since I didn't do any last year and I did get it done the week before Christmas and I think that helped in lifting my spirits. It is fun to work with chocolate, it is like playing in really yummy mud! I had to step back and focus on the reason for the season, it is hard getting past the commericialism sometimes.

Anyway I am so thankful for a brand new year with no mistakes in it yet. Hopefully we can help S get past his seizures, pay down our debt, beautify our home, declutter and organize our lives and be happy with what we have.

Have a happy new year everyone!
