Vacation in Paradise!

Clark and I had the opportunity to go on a cruise this month to the Caribbean--just the two of us!  WOW!  It was just what we needed.  The islands were beautiful, the beaches relaxing, and plenty of time for each other.  We had lots of fun with the friends we travelled with.  We sure missed our kids.  Paradise is fun to visit, but we are glad to be back!

Christmas

What a wonderful time of year!  This Christmas season we enjoyed all the fun things that make the holidays special--gingerbread houses, Christmas lights, Santa, family, and presents.  But more than anything else, I loved celebrating the life of the Savior, feeling his love for us, and resolving to be more like Him.

Disney-mania!

So this post is a few months late, but I had to share!  In November, Clark and I surprised the kids with a trip to Disneyland.  They bought our "staying at a hotel far away" excuse the whole drive there.  We told them right as we pulled up to the the happiest place on earth.  The squeals of excitement made they whole trip worth it--inspite troubles with the stomach flu and one little boy falling in the hotel fountain.  In all, we had a wonderful time!  

Bad, Bad Blogger!

WOW!  Where did the last two months go?  It is all such a blur.  I absolutely love Christmas, but there doesn't seem to be any time for extra anything!  Clark's new calling in church has also added to our craziness.  Our ward was split at the end of November and he was called as our new bishop.  Along with all our "Christmasing" was tithing settlement, interviews, staffing a brand new ward, etc.  It has been an adjustment, but a real blessing to our little family.  In spite of everything, I guess I shouldn't be too hard on myself for being such a bad blogger!
