So Christmas has come and gone. Oh what fun it was. It was a really quiet one during Christmas week. To start off we went to Ben's parents house on Christmas Eve. Well, that day Wendy had left a pot of chicken to boil (for chicken noodle soup) and left to go shopping. She returned home and the house was full of smoke. We are very grateful that the house did not start on fire. So the house smelled of smoke as we celebrated the Eve. It still smells of smoke. We call it the smoke house now. We also found out that my mother had fallen down my sisters stairs and broke her back and spent a good portion of the day at the hospital.
Christmas morning was early for us. We had the joy of my little sister Whitney and her boyfriend join us. Cash was so excited for the presents he got. A digger, more train tracks and trains, DVD's and some clothes. Small Christmas but a very good one. As we got ready to go to Ben's parents again, I was in a hurry and went to reach for the Listerine bottle and instead grabbed the Mr. Clean bottle. Yes, I mouth washed with it. NOT smart I know! I was dry heaving for about a half hour and have had sores in my mouth ever since.
We had breakfast and hung out until we had to go to my grandma's for dinner. So it was very quiet Christmas for us.
My parents returned from S.L.C. on Sunday with my sister and her two kids. And I was so excited to see and be with them. Then that Monday was Benni's 31st birthday. We went to Red Robin for lunch and he was at the doctors. That night we had a birthday dinner for him at his families. It was a very fun evening. I want to say thanks to all that donated to his generator fund for his birthday.
That evening we found out that my mother fell again down my grandparents stairs and broke her tailbone and more of her back.
On New Year's Eve Ben and I went to a movie and then home. Not to exciting. On New Year's Day the Strong's and all their kids came down. We went to Jumpin' Jacks. The kids had a ball. And we played the Rock Band which my dad and Ben loved. My mother had to have back surgery on Friday. It was a small procedure to help heal her back correctly. Painful non the less. She is doing well though.
The holidays were good and enjoyable. We hope everyone had a good one also. I will put more pics from the holidays up later.

Tasha, I am so glad to hear that your mom is doing better. I can't believe she fell twice. I hope she gets feeling better and her back heals. It looks like you guys had a great Christmas! Kaleb got more train tracks to! I bet him and Cash would have a great time together. I can't believe all of Gabbys hair! I love the piggys all over her head! I am jealous of you now! I don't have any hair to work with! :) I miss you and so glad you had a fun Christmas and New Year. (even if it was stressful) Talk to you soon! LOVE YA Ashlee
