If you know me you know I am a wordy person, I always have a story to tell and I want moments fully documented. I want my kids to look back and have all the details, you can think of this site as our family journal, or more importantly the momma diary.

Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Watts, 12/28/2008...

After Ava's blessing and get together at my in-laws, we headed to my grandparents for christmas dinner and fun.

My uncle Gary and his family drove up from St George just for the day, and it was so good to see them. We were sorry they didn't make it in time for the blessing, but totally understand. As my Dad loses weight he begins to look more and more like his brother Gary. When we first arrived at my Grandparents I didn't know they were there and I actually thought Gary was my Dad when he opened the door. After a yummy dinner we visited and exchanged white elephant gifts. It was a lot of fun, and it was so good to spend so much time with our extended family.
