Let me define my December..."lost forever in the subconscious of my mind." I'm sure it was fun, I'm sure my kids all came to visit, I'm sure I cooked, I'm even sure I bought gifts and received gifts, but if it wasn't for the pictures we took, it would all be lost forever.
To start the month off, I was able to work at Scrapbooks.com for the 3 weeks preceding Christmas. It was really fun but...I have forgotten what it is like to work full time and still function as wife and mother...something had to go and I'm afraid it was wife and mother.
Summer came home from collage during the last week of work, and I think I said hello to her. I don't think she minded however because truth be known they never really come home to see the parents.
Calli, Brendan, Taylor and Keaton came the last day of work...also Arlons ***drum roll*** 5oth B-day! So started the festivities that continued on till Monday the 5th when the last trip was made to the airport, school started, I walked in the door and said...listen...I was all alone again.
So since I have no memories of the events that took place after December 1st ending January 5th, I will share what my camera said happened.

After a Yummy dinner of Fried Chicken we headed off to the Temple (all except TJ, who later payed for his desertion, by rolling over in a jeep, which he was not driving, but who lived to tell the tale, minus sore muscles and new fodder for the Lewis memory book!)
