Christmas........

Well I was trying to put other pictures on but again I had connection problems. So here's what I got on. For Christmas Erin and Jon got us family pictures, which with Chris here it was perfect. It was kinda funny, it was snowing just a bit and we took them outside. So we all dropped our coats rand through all the snow on the ground and started posing. Poor little Issy had her sweet little round white head with a bright red nose glowing at us! It was very cold but it was lots of fun. It will be fun to get the pictures back and see if we all had bright red noses! After the pictures we were all freezing and hungry so we went to one of our favorite restaurants here in Utah "Good Wood" awesome potato salad and pulled pork! My scar is showing in this picture. We are going to have it edited out in the family pictures:-)

Erin and Jon stayed another week with us so they could be here with Chris too.

It was nice that all of the kids were together for the week. We all got spoiled by having Issy around to kiss on when ever we wanted. Chris fell under her spell to, he was crazy about her.
This was yesterday at the airport. Chris was leaving to get back to Mesa. I was sad because he was so sad to leave. He said he wanted just one more week with us, and he would have felt better. Funny how we tried to get him to be with us when he was 17 and had all of those problems, and that was the last thing he wanted. But now after 3 years he has changed enough that he enjoys being with us. But he had to get back to work. I cried on and off for the rest of the day. As a parent you just really want your kids to be happy and have happy lives.

Chris was feeling very huggy! He grabs hold of you and doesn't let go.

Things have wound down now it's just the 4 of us again. And I'm feeling pretty yucky. I think I have something, I just hope I didn't give it to everybody else. I need some good rest. It was impossible for me to take it easy like I was supposed to after my surgery. I am just hoping that I haven't done anything stupid to my recovery.
