CHRISTMAS TIME IS ALMOST HERE

I can't believe that its almost christmas already. this christmas won't be the same for me and my family. its going to be so weird not seeing my parents and my sister for christmas this year. we see them every year and i get so excited to see them and spend it with them but this year they can't come down. we told the kids that they won't be seeing grandma and grandpa brummer and aunt jamie this christmas and jaden didn't like that at all and spencer said why i miss them, and mckenzie wants to see them to, but they understand that its bad weather first of all, and that they can't really afford to come down this year. they were excited knowing that we will be calling them on christmas eve and christmas day. its going to be hard not seeing you guys this christmas but i have all my christmas memories in my heart and mind and i will be thinking about them and all of you this christmas. i wish i could see my brother and lindsay with their children but they can't come down either and i miss you all to and so do the kids. i hope you got your christmas letter from us and hope you like it, we got our box from you and we will open it on christmas, thank you. we love you and miss you jeff and lindsay and have a merry christmas and we will talk to you then.
mom, dad, and jamie i will miss you so much this year cause i'm used to seeing you on christmas so i'm sure its going to be hard for you to. i just want to say that i love you and can't wait to call you and talk with you. i'm glad your not traveling here cause we just got pounded with heavy snow and bad winds so dad if your traveling now from wyoming to utah please be very careful and i will be praying for your safe return home. i know we are having a white christmas now the kids love it. we went sledding yesterday daniel pulled all of us in a big sled with the four wheeler it was a lot of fun, i couldn't stop laughing i felt like a kid again. anyways i love you all and wish you a very merry christmas and can't wait to talk to you on christmas eve and day. i hope you like your presents i made you. love you!!!!!

My Christmas Memories

i just wanted to share some of my memories i have when i was young during christmas time. i can still remember me, jeff, and jamie camping out on the floor in jeffs room christmas eve night cause we couldn't sleep so we played games and laughed and had a great time. we were so excited for christmas morning. i think every christmas eve we didn't sleep cause we were so excited but we had a great time camping out with each other. than every morning we tried to sneak down the stairs to see what santa brought, but our dad wouldn't let us go into the dining room until he got done video taping everything santa brought us, which was torture for us cause we wanted to go in there and see what we got, but after our dad got done taping, i remember always racing into the room to see what we got. i know we screamed a lot cause we got lots of awesome things every year. every christmas was really great. i remember how our gifts were seperated into their own piles for us, our santa gifts were un wrapped most of them and they were just sitting out with bows on them which i thought was cool, and then the gifts that santa wrapped to had really pretty wrapping paper on them with shiny ribbons and bows. i remember all of us un wrapping our gifts so fast that we had no more to un wrap, then we played with everything we got. we played games and listen to christmas music which was either the carpenters or alvin and the chipmunks. then after we played for awhile then my mom and dad made breakfast, and we had to eat or we couldn't have any of our christmas candy. i remember that we didn't get to open our stockings until after lunch time cause we did that as a family and it gave us something to look forward to after we had opened everything else. and i'll tell you now our stockings were filled with awesome things and fun things like mini games, candy, jewlry, balls, keychains, toppers, books, little wind up toys, slinky, toothbrush, makeup, money, and so much other cool stuff. even my mom and dad got cool stuff in their stockings, we loved opening the stockings every year. then later our family came over and gave us presents and we played games and showed them everything we got for christmas and visited with them and had a christmas dinner as a family, and then we all crashed cause we were so tired. we always had a great fun christmas every year. i'll never forget my christmas memories, our christmas was so magical and loving every year. i hope to carry those traditions with my family and make it magical and memorable like our parents did for us.

i wanted to thank my mother and father for giving us such a wonderful and magical christmas every year. i have a lot of christmas memories from when i was young, and i'll never forget what a wonderful christmas i had every year growing up. i know that i had tantrums on christmas day sometimes, but i wanted to tell you both that i appreciate everything you did for me and i did like everything i got and i'm sorry i didn't appreciate it then but i think every child is like that on christmas, my children act like that now, but you gave me everything i always wanted and thank you for always making it so special for all of us. i can't wait to do that for my children and give them memories of their christmas to cherish forever. so i just wanted to say that to you both cause i don't think you realize how special you made every christmas, so thank you. love you both very much and merry christmas, and hope to see you soon again!!

BIGGEST LOSER FAN OF BLACK TEAM

i'm a huge fan of the biggest loser, i can't wait to watch it every tuesday night. i'm going for the black team of course i have every year cause i like jillian because she cares for her team both physically and mentally. i'm so proud of michelle for making it into the finale. she has been through so much in her life and going through all of the heartache and making it to the finale shows she has determination and heart. i believe michelle is going to win the biggest loser this season. she is an amazing person and she deserves this win. i can't wait till next tuesday cause you get to see all the contestants of how they look now, and usually the transformations are unbelieveable. i can't wait to see colleen, renee, phil and his wife, and amy. i hope michelle wins it all, she well deserves it.
