CHRISTMAS CRAFT

EVERY YEAR JEFF TAKES THE GIRLS IN THE TWIN FALLS OFFICE A CHRISTMAS PRESENT, AND EVERY YEAR I MAKE THEM SOMETHING CRAFTY. THEY ARE ALWAYS EXCITED TO SEE WHAT I COME UP WITH. THIS YEAR I FOUND THIS CUTE BLOG AND MY CRAFT FOR THIS YEAR. THESE BOTTLES WERE FUN AND EASY TO MAKE.

CHECK HERE TO SEE THE HOW TO INSTRUCTIONS.

MY MOTTO TILL CHRISTMAS IS OVER

"In difficult moments, behave like a duck, keep calm and unruffled on the surface, but keep paddling away like crazy underneath."

A quote I stole from Buhddi's face book he always has good ones.

Jeff and I went to see our friend Buhddi last night in Rexburg.

He was one of Brandons mission companions in Maylasia and we have loved having him close by. I realized that we definately didn't spend enough time with him during his four years at BYU-I and after our visit last night I realized how much we will miss him. He is one of those very special spirits and his testimony of the Gospel radiates from his soul. He will do great things in his life and we wish him well in his move to DC.

WHAT A LIFE!

I THINK RIGHT NOW I WOULD LIKE TO TRADE PLACES WITH MY DOG. WHILE I AM FRANTICALLY RUNNING AROUND CHASING CHRISTMAS, LEXIE FINDS THE MOST COMFORTABLE PLACE IN THE HOUSE TO TAKE A NAP. HOW I WOULD LIKE TO BURY MY HEAD UNDER A PILLOW AND HOPE THAT SOMEONE ELSE WOULD TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING THAT STILL NEEDS TO GET DONE BEFORE CHRISTMAS. I GUESS THE THE UP SIDE IS THAT I WILL GET TO ENJOY THE FRUITS OF MY LABORS WITH A FUN WEEK WITH MY FAMILY THIS CHRISTMAS AND SHE WILL JUST GET A SQUEAKY TOY.
