This has been a difficult Christmas for our family.  I'm not going to write until after we drive home to Utah after the new year.

Funny Christmas story:
Mom got me a little hot glue gun!  I was looking for one a few weeks ago because I want to glue more ribbons into my scriptures so I can save more places. :)

Another Christmas story:
Torrey was really excited about Christmas (she's 12) and we told her she had to wait 'till 8 to start opening presents.  But of course, she's Torrey, and pretty much got nothing but gift cards to a bunch of her favorite stores at the mall so she can buy clothes.  (Not kidding - she got like $300 worth of gift cards or something. WHAT.)  I'm trying to wrap my head around this - it seems like Torrey knew what she was getting for Christmas ... so she was really excited to open up a bunch of gift cards?  Nothing to play with?  Nothing to show off?  It seems so anticlimactic!!

We got to my parents' house on Christmas Eve.  I still haven't watched It's A Wonderful Life.  I want to have my gooey sit-and-cry time!!  "Waaaah I love my life and want to help people!  I love everyone!  Waaaah!"  Last year, I officially decided It's A Wonderful Life is my favorite Christmas movie.  It beat out A Christmas Story and A Muppet Christmas Carol.  I know what you're thinking.  "Whaaat?!  THAT'S UNPOSSIBLE."

Yep.  Crazier things have happened, though.  TRUST ME.
