Bunko

Each and every year I look forward to this annual Bunko party. It consists of Aunts, Uncles and cousins on the Hone side together for catching up, laughing, eating, playing bunko and exchanging gifts. Since my Grandparents have passed this has become a tradition rotating between Jerilyn, Jolene and Mom's homes. This year was nice because it was at Mom's house and Jeremy was able to join us since switching jobs.

I apologize that I don't have any pictures of this fun event, but I did have to share as part of my journal.

A couple of events that happened was Brooke got three naturals, making her win the money pot for the year. The other event was there was a present that was wrapped in princess wrapping. Well since Christmas Abigail has been wanting to open more presents so she thought that this particular present was for her. So as one of the adults picked it and opened it to find princess dress up stuff, Abigail went crazy, because she thought that was her gift. One of the second cousins there was going to steal that gift to then give it to Abigial. What a kind hearted spirit that little second cousin was to try and do that to the upset Abigail. In the end Mom stole the gift from the person that opened it and then I stole it from Mom. Abigial is happily in love with her dresses and crowns.

Merry Christmas

What a day this Christmas turned out to be. As we ate our Christmas Eve dinner (pizza and salad), we opened out magic jamies and got ready for bed. As we sat watching a christmas movie all of a sudden Jack wasn't feeling so well and everything came out and into a bowl. We were able to get Abi off to bed, however Jack was another story. As anything and everything wouldn't stay down we finally got him to sleep. At about 2 am Jeremy and I awoke to a deadly scream which came from Jack as he had another upset stomach upburst. We brought him into our room and finally got him back to sleep. At about 7 am Abi woke and come into our room. At around 8 we finally decided to climb out of bed and see what Santa brought.

Jack and Abi got Leap Pad 2's with three cartridges each. They also got clothes. Jack got the Lorax movie and trains to go on his train table. Abigail got Brave the movie, along with Barbie clothes and more princess barbies.

We weren't feeling too hot to make it to Grandma South's for breakfast, but on our way to the Heinrichs event we stopped by to visit.

As we headed over to the Heinrichs event, Jeremy wasn't feeling well. For our dinner we prepared Crab, Lobster, Artichoke, Potatoes and of course Broccoli Cheese Soup. It was all really delicious.

After dinner and cleaning up the kitchen we headed to the living room and the sorting of present began. One by one all the presents under the tree started to disappear.

Brooke and Logan had our names this year and they were so thoughtful here is what everyone got - Jack got a RC Monster Truck, Abigail got a Play Doh Princess Castle, Jeremy got a RC four wheeler/helicopter and I got a beautiful sweater with a neclace. From Grandma we got Jack got a RC Firetruck,  Abigail got a baby sister, and Jeremy and I got a home made levi quilt.

 

 

I am so blessed to have family, the gospel and the savior in my life. Although sometimes we forget the real meaning of Christmas I know that in our hearts we know the true meaning, of the Savior's birth and that he gave his life for us. Merry Christmas.
