Christmas 2009

We had another wonderful Christmas at the Hurst household. This is the first years since our kids started looking forward to Christmas morning that we didn't get up at 6:00 am. Janna still wanted to, but her teenage sisters and brother demanded we wait until 7:30. No argument from Kevin and I. I think Amberly would have gladly slept even later than that, but we compromised. It was a relaxing day and I'm so glad to have such a wonderful family to enjoy the holidays with. I'm especially thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ and for the opportunity to remember Him on this special day.

Merry Christmas

Christmas Parties and Concerts

The Christmas Season is in full swing and the parties and concerts take up our days and nights

Kevin's mom has a Christmas Party every second Saturday of December. This year she hosted the Nelson crew. It was fun to see family that we only see every other year.

The Horsley Party was a Christmas Breakfast again, this year held at Omniture where Glen works. It was a great place to host the ever growing Horsley clan.

Jeffrey is in Chamber Choir this year and did a great job at his Jr. High concert. I'm glad he enjoys singing as well as sports.

This year, Janna had the privilege of having a solo part in her Choir Concert. She did a great job at the mall and at the evening performance. I tried to upload the video, but after an hour I gave up. Trust me when I say she sounded great.

It's always a treat to go to Amberly's Christmas Concert. She is in Chamber Choir and Acapella Choir so she sang a lot. She also accompanied on the piano for a couple of Chamber numbers. I'm going to be sad when I can't go to her concerts in Rexburg every time she performs. Great job Amberly!

'Tis the Season

We had a wonderful family night tonight. The kids begged for a real tree this year, so after doing some shopping for their cousins, we took the kids to pick out a real Christmas tree. It's been a few years and I must say I enjoy how beautiful and how fragrant a real tree is. We decorated as we listened to the First Presidency Christmas devotional. What a nice tradition.

Merry Christmas.

Aprons

Are these cute or what. My sister makes these cute aprons. The prices are 1/2 what you'd find in OTHER places. Prices are: $20 for adult. $15 for child and $10 for toddler. She also makes special orders for matching aprons or does $22 plus sizes.

Contact me if you're interested. I will have a bunch at the Manila Elementary faculty room for a couple of weeks. (785-8860)
