Fun gifts

What a tradition for the Bod family. A lot of effort and time has been shared with us. Mom and Ron create a calendar like no other. It has a special place in our home and besides being beautiful it keeps us up to date with our fam. Thanks for a fun gift. Who more clearly demonstrates "Love" than my mother. she crocheted and framed this beautiful doily with words she lives by. It also has a special place in our home. Thanks.

Now we have a special family that makes sure we have the latest Greg Olsen calendar. They ship it out to each of us I think, maybe they only send it to me because I am the favorite!!!!! Thanks........



Quilts-

I have a thing for fabric, love to buy it and love to create with it. Some of my kids have a thing for it too. We will have to share some fun projects with you. Pictures to come.
It's a snow day, that's what we do in the winter. Love the four wheeler-even the big kids (Grandma) loves it.
BRRRRRRRRR-we are harty and play hard in the winter.

It's Christmas!!!!

Yahoo everyone is here!!! 100%. So fun to have everyone gather together. We do presents, Grandpa gets new boots and he is surprised.
We have a fun day. Presents, eating, taking pictures and one of our favorites is spending the money at the cook store that they get in their stocking.
Brook, Dalton and Bri help with this one and we set up the store in the play house in the basement.
We had a new spin this year and had a raffle also, this was random, but it turned out fun. Kate and Maeley helped with this. They drew tickets and everyone was a winner.


This is crazy fun on Christmas day.






Basketball in December

So we spend our winter nights going to basketball games. This is the cheering section, can't tell if we are winning our just having fun together or both. Who do we love? GO TEAM GO.


December

Got to go to Utah during December and took some Christmas pillowcases for my Sweeties. Then I attended my work meetings and Gramps met us in SLC. We took a tour of Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. Let the season begin. Our favorite time of year.


Gratitude


It's been so long since I posted. In order to keep in chronological order, I can't skip November, a month of gratitude and remembering that we are so blessed.
Our family is number 1. We love them so much. Even though we are missing a few pictures this is a fun thing Jill did for us.
I must say that the gospel has helped me through some rough times and gives me much hope.
We were born of goodly parents and they showed us how to build a strong foundation for our family.
We live in a land of promise and opportunity, I often wonder why I was born where I was.
So many other blessings I see everyday. Thanks to my Heavenly Father.
