Merry Christmas Everyone!

Well, to let everyone know, Keeley's tongue is doing well :) As Joel asked, she wasn't dared.Thankfully Jarrin is still too young for that, otherwise we'd really be in trouble :) Our sweet Keeley assumed it would be okay since she has licked the ice on our chain before ( when it was at least 30 degrees out) and nothing had happened, apparently being 4, she didn't realize that a -4 degree temp makes a difference in ice licking outside! Hehehe. We had told her last year and this year what could happen, but as most parents know, in one ear and out the other happens extremely fast for kids:) Other than that, we got plowed out and now it is snowing again. They said a possible 2 feet of snow and some major winds, so we are preparing in case of an power outage. In Idaho though, the weather changes quickly from what we get told, so it may be like our storm 2 weeks ago that only dumped 6 inches or so.
On another note, I have been a sewing maniac these last 2 weeks trying to get Christmas Presents done. So far I have 2 blankets, 2 jammies, 2 skirts, 3 sets of mittens, hats and gloves, 2 aprons, jewelery galore for my Mother in law and Keeley and some boy hemp ones for Jarrin and I still have quite a bit left so it's been fun staying up till 1 am every night to finish, Brad is a big help too!! I am so glad it's getting done! I had to take a break because I stretched this morning and I pulled a muscle! I was stuck in my stretch position till I went running for Brad to help massage it out! I have spent too many hunched over nights cutting and sewing ,he says :( , he banned me from it today and possibly tomorrow depending on my condition upon waking. So needless to say I stayed home from church because I can't lift my hand up over my head and its hard for Brad to shower me and curl my hair(hahaha) with three kids around :) So after icepackin' and massage all day, I think ...I hope I'll be ready to sew tomorrow. I just want to finish so I can make some yummy apple cinnamon rolls Christmas Eve for Christmas morning. Plus all the wrapping!! Oh it is so fun! It will be nice to just sit back and relax and enjoy the celebration of our Savior's Birth!! Sorry there are no Christmas cards this year, I was too lazy... next year I am hoping to be better! I am so happy to be able to see all my family in a couple of days!! I hope this storm goes before everyone has to travel!! I hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas this year and thank you for reading my ramblings!! By the way this is a really cute story about the symbols of Christmas! I think it is perfect for little kids to help them to start understanding all the different meaning behind things!! I hope you enjoy!! Again ....MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
