New Year and Birthday Fun!

With a New Year, Most everyone has to celebrate and my family is NO exception. We Went down to Mesquite NV, had a little fun and went bowling! Not one of us is a Great Bowler, but it doe Bring back many memories of playing as a family in the many Bowling Centers we have been too. What is even nicer about January is that the Celebration from Christmas doesn't really stop. Most of my families birthdays are in January, So of course we had to celebrate with Red Lobster:) It is nice to be able to have all of these family get togethers because family is super important! I LOVE my family so much! And YEA for Celebrating!

The Funny things in life

So it is always strange how things work out. Falling on ice when no one is there and laughing till someone does arrive, or going to class on the first day just to realize that you have gone to wrong class 20 minutes in, then leaving because the professor states that it is better to be a little embarrassed than to waste your whole class time, then to find out that the guy you like was in that class and now teases you about it...Oh the funny things in life.
Now that you have had a laugh, I have a little venting to do, normally I am not a venter, but this I think needs to be gotten off of my mind. But if you really think about it, they are all things that can be laughed about, well most of them anyways...
Why do people have to think they are better than others? There is no point God loves everyone the same you are no better than me and I am no better than you.
Why is gossip such a big problem? If you have something to say to the person and not to everyone else because eventually that person will find out and then it is a big mess
Why won't some people forgive? I said I was sorry, but still you won't forgive...how ridiculous is that?
Why do people have to make so much drama? If you have a problem Resolve it, get over it move on.
What is the point of arguing someone's "point of view"? You can't make someone see it your way so agree to disagree.
Why do some people get so offended? Offense only makes you stop progressing, learn from it, forgive and move on.
What is the point of holding a grudge? It only makes for heartache, bitterness and sorrow on all sides of the playing field
Why are some people so insistent that you can't be "good" to enjoy life? You have your ways, I have mine, don't get angry that I don't swear, gamble, drink, or watch R rated movies. And I won't get angry that you do.
See it is all about the laughable things in life, these are all so petty when they are looked at from a written point of view, and yet, all these things cause destruction, war, feuds...etc.
No one is perfect, but I think if we all tried a little harder to not be offended, loved our neighbor and just tried to do our best, this world would be a little better.

Chirstmas week finale

Christmas was So much fun! We finished up our yearly traditions by going to Tuacahn, for our annual nativity party. Then on Sunday evening off to Grandma's house we went to have an early Christmas dinner with her. Her tree is always beautiful, and it is always fun to go to Grandmas house and spend time with her.
We had a surprise visit from my cousins Priscilla, Darren and their kids.We got to watch the kids open their gifts from Grandma, it was an added treat!
Christmas eve is always special at our house we light only the candles and the living room is always transformed into an enchanting Christmas area with white lights, a flocked tree and beautiful decorations. I love that my Mom always decorates, and that it is classy and enchanting! The family room is transformed into the "cabin area" with a green tree, multi-colored lights and old school/ home-made decorations. It was a little hard this year, being in rented home and all, but Mom did beautifully, she always does!
We were able to talk to my Brother Chase that evening, 11 pm to be exact, it was so nice to hear from him and to know that he is doing well in the Netherlands. We got his package from Holland and we all got Dutch gifts. And it was cool because he told us that people were more open to talk about the Savior now than at any other time, because of this time of year.
After we sat around and told Christmas stories that we have collected over the years. Then we got the best gift ever, a trip to Canada where we used to live in Vancouver. The next morning was fun, opening gifts,( the animals Powder, Juicy and even Dino got gifts too!). Then the real fun started... getting packed to leave for our trip.
