McKenzie spoke in church the Sunday after we got there, so we got to see a lot of the other family as well. It was a lot of fun, but then it was nice to have some quiet and one on one time with McKenzie. We also got to have lunch with the extended Gallup family which was fun. Mikiya got to go shopping with Grandma and Grandpa Gallup, she thought it was pretty fun to pick out a game for Daddy. An exciting week for her, Mikiya also lost her second tooth and happy to see that the Tooth Fairy found her at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. Christmas Eve we visited my Walton grandparents and went to the Belnap Christmas party. This was the first time we saw Kason this break, and Quaid didn’t like being in a different room from him. He kept asking where Kas was and wanted to see him. Grandma had a couple little balls and a bunch of the little kids played with Kason and my Dad. When it came time for the program, I wished I hadn’t forgotten my camera. I’m really good at that. Mikiya got to play Mary, and Quaid was the cutest little Wise Man I’ve ever seen.
We had a wonderful Christmas and have been so blessed. The company Mike worked for closed in October. We haven’t been stressed about what would happen to our family, just praying that we would learn what we needed to and Mike would find work. We have felt quite blessed to have such wonderful family and so many other blessings in life. This is a wonderful time of year to reflect on all we have and the blessings of the Savior.
The rest of the break was filled with playing with cousins, in the snow, lots of games, swimming in Grandma Gallup’s hot tub, and just having fun. My sisters and I made beaded watches and Mikiya and Kaelie had a blast putting all our extra beads on strings so they could be a part of the craft day too.
