I have been putting off my catching up on blogging because I was waiting to find more Christmas pictures. They are on some random folder on the external hard drive. I can't write what is currently going on when I feel like I need to catch up, so here we go. Paxton loves cars and lined all of them up on Christmas morning. We spent Christmas Eve at Greg's parents house and Christmas evening was spent at the waterpark hotel in Salt Lake. The last two years we have spent two nights at this hotel for Christmas. The kids love it. We go to temple square, we swim, we play with our Christmas toys and just enjoy some family time. This other picture is us in the hotel room. My mom was able to spend a few days with us over Christmas because she was still on her mission at temple square.
On December 29, my good friend and business partner, Lisa, was found unconscious in her driveway. I had been to her house just minutes before, but actually didn't find out about it until the next morning. Her heart wasn't beating correctly which was making it difficult for blood and oxygen to get to her brain. Long story short, the doctors told her that she had a 1% chance of survival. If she did survive, she would likely have short term memory problems which she did experience for a couple of weeks. By God's grace she is living a fully normal life. I am grateful for her friendship and grateful for the knowledge of eternal families and for modern medicine.
Also over the break I cleaned up my office, painted my desk and painted and installed shelves over the desk. So much nicer!
We had made a family goal to pay off our 2nd mortgage loan in 2010. We went to the bank on December 30 to make our last payment and Alexis screamed "We're Debt Free!" What a great feeling! We had this list posted on our fridge and would fill it in throughout the year. I posted a little more about this HERE.
I don't remember what we did for New Year's so it must not have been too exciting:)
