Getting Ready for Christmas

I haven't posted in quite awhile. Christmas is just days away - is that good or bad? I'm not sure. We've had a pretty calm season this year, not a lot of party's or shopping to do. Just keeping things sane with 5 kids is full time business for this family. Our Grandma and Grandpa Kirkby will be here soon - we are all very excited about that. We only get to see them a few times a year.

I'll start posting some pictures again soon since my sister Nicole is lending me her old digital camera until we can find our own or get a new one. And mom just told me today she and dad are giving us a new camcorder for Christmas this year - so look for some fun vid's coming soon!

Maegann's school got out last week for the break and she is going crazy. The other kids end tomorrow. Our 14th wedding anniversary is this friday, so Brian and I are going to spend some time together this weekend (thanks to Nicole and Angela for helping take care of the kids).

Instead of trekking to SLC to see the lights we decided to go to Thanksgiving Point where we could stay in the Van and see the lights while driving through. It was quite fun and much warmer than Temple Square. (are we getting old or WHAT!)

As many of you know, Brian and I are gaming geeks - we play World of Warcraft together every night. It keeps us busy and we enjoy the time "together" (even tho we play in different rooms of the house). Brian is the Guild Master - it's a love/hate responsibility for him. But if any of you play WoW and want to hook up sometime we'd love to have you!

I hope everyone has an enjoyable Christmas Season. I am having to re-train myself to enjoy Christmas fully instead of over-stressing. It's working so far. Love to all!
