We re instated Sunday dinners

We used to have Sunday dinners every Sunday up to when we moved to this house 5 yrs ago, when I started getting really sick 🤢. Dad and I decided to started them again. Everyone is invited ( Mike said they might come every other Sunday) but regardless we will have them❤️ today a less active member of the church that lives in our neighborhood came ( Ernesto) Max invited him.

Afterwards we got a visit from some carolers 🥹❤️( some members of our ward)

Family Christmas Lunch 2025🎄❤️

We kept the family tradition to decorate cookies for Santa, we had so much fun!

I made aprons for everyone! 

Caitlin 's cookies!

Abby and I tried really hard to build the ginger bread house.... according to Max we should keep our day job🤣🤣

Even the punk has fun!!!❤️

There was a beautiful exhibit called the light of the world, it was so beautiful!

A other exhibit was the tree of life ( Lehi's dream)

I cried through the whole thing 😭 I really brought to light the true meaning of Christmas, is Christ!

Thanks to him, we can be families for ever and we can know that the trials of this life are only temporary ❤️

We went to a beautiful light show called Iluminaria!❤️

Every Christmas ⛄ since the kids were little we decorated cookies 😁 🍪 this year is not different. ( We are missing Jaiden and Nicholle 😭) But they are with us in sentiment ❤️

For our family Christmas lunch we went to Braza Grill ( a family favorite) it was so good!!!🎄

Dad of course weared his ugly sweater 😂 

It was a really fun day!!🎄❤️

It is begging to look at lot like Christmas 🎄🎶🎵

This year has been busy and since I'm still recovering from the past operations I didn't really feel like decorating ( plus Jaiden and Nicholle won't be home till celebrate with us) but Dad was very insistent in decorating, so I did ( not the whole house but some)

Back to get IV Infusions

After almy 6 months, I resume the IV infusions 😁

I get oxygen and a massage chair...not to shabby 😄 

Hot cocoa station!

With Ted and Caitlin in the house we have a bunch of teenagers coming and going all the time, so I thought a hot cocoa station was a good idea 😀 💡 

Of course you have to have snacks!

And we got a new hot cocoa machine that will be delivered today to make things easier!

Happy thanksgiving!!!

This was our 1st year without Nicholle in the house, but she send us pictures of the amazing pie she made!

And her yummy thanksgiving meal!

Max is so amazing! So I wouldn't feel left out we found a place that made gluten free, sugar free and low carb pies!!! They were not cheap but they are soooo good!!!

We went to Jeff and Shelley's house and it was a blast! Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures but this one( me laying on their couch)😅

This is me when I got home ( Im so beat!) but it was so fun hugging the kids and hanging out with everyone!!!❤️

It is over!!!! ( at least for a few months)

Well...they clean my right kidney on Monday, Max was pretty against it ( with reason) since I'm still recovering from the 4 th operation a month ago . But a big stone (10.44mm) was starting to move on the right and i said...what the 'H#@ll  I'm miserable anyway, this would buy me a few months with no big stones passing all the time)😁

And today ( 5 days later) I took the stent out ...I remember it much smaller and no loops 😭...when I did it in 2020....it definitely hurts 🤕. But I'm glad is over!!!!❤️😁
