So, the kids and I have finished our holiday shopping. What fun we've had. And today we have new snow falling, which is great because everything was brown and blah yesterday. If we're going to be freezing our guts out, it may as well be snowy.
Last night the kids and I finally finished reading Honey Bunch. We re-read What Are You So Grumpy About, and read The Gift of The Magi by O. Henry.
The kids and I discussed New Years Resolutions and will be working on those in the coming weeks, hopefully to be finalized by the 31st. I can't wait to see what the kids come up with.
Tonight we are planning a trip to Thanksgiving Point to feed Santa's Reindeer and take a carriage ride(hopefully, if it's not too cold) through the park to see the Holiday Lights.
Last saturday we attended my family's annual Christmas party. The kids all had a blast and as always it's wonderful to catch up with everyone. It's amazing that now matter how near or far we all live, we always seem to lose touch, so it's great to come together, to see the kids and marvel at how they've grown. Well, I'm off to help Allie make her blankets for the children's hospital. Have a safe, happy holiday.

Holidays
We've been so busy with the holidays that I've not posted for some time.
Thanksgiving was fabulous. We hosted Sajid's older brother Shahid and his family and it was lovely. We ended the evening with our five and celebrated my birthday, which was glorious. We went out to Bountiful to my parents home for some leftovers and pies the next day.
Christmas of corse is now fast approaching, a few more gifts and lots more baking. Today Kamran and Allie built our gingerbread house and gingerbread train (from kits). Last night Allie babysat some little ones at our house and they all decorated gingerbread men, and she helped them write letters to santa, that was really fun. The kids also want to make rice krispy trees and cookies. They love to bake as much as I do.
It's getting late and I need to make sure everyone has fallen asleep.
Happy Holidays!
