Christmas in Review

I feel like I've been in a small tornado for 3 days and just got thrown out of it. Cooking, cleaning, eating, playing, cooking, cleaning,eating, playing. Not much sleeping, and throw in teaching YW, a temple recommend interview with the Stake President, Kevin & Amy speaking in the Spanish branch, and ending with a big Cox family Party. Could we have squeezed anymore in? Oh yes I forgot - Ed and I got new callings too. (Added on to our old callings)
Thank goodness I don't work this week, I slept all day today. But I just would like to say a few words about our family. I love them to pieces! Saturday was so fun being all together. We had a new BB ball game in the basement that kept everyone entertained as well as nerf rifles for the grandsons, even though their dads seemed to have more fun with them than they did. I would also like to thank the whole Cox family for another successful family party. I know that we are all pooped by the time this party rolls around and I am probably the first one to say we shouldn't have it, but it always turns out. You always come through. It takes alot of love to hold a big family together and I hope you all know you are loved so much. I know that mom is overwhelmed by the money given to her - and she wants you all to know how much she appreciates it. I was looking over our big group last night and I thought - how blessed we are - its not easy keeping a family this big -close. Thanks to a Mom and Dad for all you've done to keep us this way.
