and a happy new year! we are back, but i bet you didn't know we were even gone, because A) i've been MIA on the blog and B) we didn't even know we were leaving until we left, almost! Kendall was always going to be gone to go see his brother be married in Nauvoo, IL but the plan was for Ethan, Avery and I to stay by ourselves for 5 days with no reinforcements and no breaks and no one to see, because most of our friends are out of town and ....and ...the closer we got to doing that the more it sounded like i did not want to be within 10 feet of a situation like that and then my sister erin decided she was going to visit my mom with her girls (sans Gabriel husband) and we got a check in the mail from some fortuitous thing kendall did (a fellowship at school...it was a scholarship check technically) that would pay for almost all of our last minute tickets and then we booked them and went! So we went to be with my mom and dad (sans Kendall) and it was a lot of fun. I forgot my camera but erin got some good ones and she's going to send them to me so i can share....hint hint, erin, send that CD whenever you have a minute:)
so my mom has cancer, i don't know if you guys knew this but she's been having chemo for about 3 months and she is seriously, THE cutest bald person i have ever seen. if you've got to be bald, and you've got to have chemo, you might as well be as cute as my mama! seriously, cute!
the kids were good, ethan loved playing with dellah and ruby (cousins) and Avery stole everyone's heart, because how could you not love a baby and i got to be with the fam, which is always fantastic!
but i do want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and we love you all!

Sounds like a fun time! I am sorry to hear about your mom, I hope everything turns out well!
I'm SOOOOOOOOO glad for you that you got to go! What a wonderful treat. I'm sure that meant the world to you.
Merry Christmas.
PS The kids got that same tunnel thing that Kara bought for Ethan for Christmas from my dad and Dallin was like, "Yay, just like Arizona!" Thought that was cute.
I'm so happy that you got to go home and be with your family! What a special Christmas present!! Can't wait to get back into a routine of things and hang out!
I'm so glad you got to go have fun with your family! We'll have to get together soon!
Glad you didn't have to brave it alone. I thought you were going to and I had great intentions of getting to see you, but I was totally swamped making Christmas gifts for the last several days before we left. Glad you had a fun time.
JEN!! I hope your mom is happy with her team. It's always better when they like their doctors. I am glad you got to go home YAY!! I was sick and thought about you but didn't want to share the wealth of germs we acquired. Did Kendall have a good time in Nauvoo?? I wish we could have gone with him that's where we were married. . . Sigh! Someday.
