The Spirit of Christmas

I have a list of people I know
All written in a book
And every year at Christmastime
I go and take a look
And that is when I realize
That those names are a part
Not of the book they're written in
But of my very heart
For each name stands for someone
Who has crossed my path some time
And in that meeting they've become
A treasured friend of mine
And once you've met some people
The years can not erase
The memory of a pleasant word
Or a friendly face
So when I send a Christmas card
That is addressed to you
It's because you're on that list
Of folk I'm indebted to
And you are one of many folk who
In times past I've met
And happen to be one of those
I don't want to forget
And whether I have known you for
Many years or few
In some way you have a part in
Shaping things I do
This, the spirit of Christmas, that
Forever and ever endures
May it leave it richest blessing
In the hearts of you and yours.

My birthday

Well although I cannot go and do something fun because we are moving tomorrow and Saturday, John is trying to make my birthday wonderful. He woke up and made the kids breakfast and got Paige to the bus by 7:30 am. He had wrapped presents last night and had them waiting for me when I woke. The "kids" each gave me a picture frame of a photo of me and each one :) then John was so sweet and knows I love hot coffee and hot tea, he got me a BIG mug from the Girl Scout shoppe. It was a 95th anniversary mug. He keeps calling and texting Happy birthday and such! I have the best husband!!

Resolutions

So I have a few resolutions

1-lose 30-40 lbs
2-read 52 books bigger books count as 2 ;)
3-spend more time with the kids actually playing or exercising
4-stop complaining so much (I think this will be the 1st to go) j/k

and I will add on when I think of them

Birthday Boys

We had the Boys' birthday party on the 4th. Joey picked How to train your Dragon party first and at the last minute changed to Star Wars. It was a lot of fun. Christine decorated the cake with some legos and it was too cute. Joey had his only friend Max there and some of his cousins. He got some cool toys too. Johnny turned one today (14th) and I still can't believe how fast that went. Thanks everyone for coming and celebrating this wonderful day with us. (pics soon)

So I have to brag

My husband is so sweet. I have a girl scout troop and only one mom (thanks Anna) paid her dues when she was supposed to. So when it came time to order the tunics and petals i could not get them before the ceremony meeting. So I ordered them in Vegas, a lot better than Ogden< and John went there last night before it closed. He picked up everything I ordered and he got a screaming deal on a little gift I am going to give the girls. It was in North LV in a part of town that had pimps and gangsters on every corner (yikes!). But he made it home OK at 10 pm without any complaints. I love you hon!
