Merry Christmas

Here are some pictures 0f the last few days of activites, and we're not done yet. My sisters Amanda and Becca are in town and they have been keeping us up pretty late (it's totally worth it), but having two sick boys and myself sick makes all these activites pretty hard to manage. I love having my sisters in town though. They are such a blast. Becca is always good for a great laugh and lots of energy, Amanda is so kind and loving and giving. They love the boys so much, and the boys love there Aunts to death. The other night Amanda, Becca and Boston were playing in Boston's room for like 45mins. They were so loud and romping all over that room. He loved it.

We also had some sad news this Christmas. On Christmas day we found out my Grandpa Malone (who is in his 80's) is slowly passing away. We saw him at the Christmas Eve party and he was being goofy and lively like he always is (see his goofy face he is making in the picture below). On Christmas moring he and grandma didn't come to our quesh breakfast because my aunt said he was too tired. Well later that night we got a phone call that grandpas body was shutting down and the hospice care had come out to the house. They told us he only has about one week left to live. We have known grandpa was sick for a while now, but it was kind of a blow. We love him very much and will be sad to see him go. But as always Heavenly Father knows what's best and he will be happy, healthy and loved were he is going. I am so grateful for the gospel in my life, what a comfort it is.
Oh ya, and Rendon just got his first tooth on Sunday. Yay!

I'm so sorry about your Grandpa. My grandma just passed away in August and it hard to see your Grandparents get sick and die. My prayers go out to your family expecially your Grandma :(

That's so sad about your grandpa. It looks like you guys had fun though. It's cool your sisters were all in town.

Thanks for the picture of Grandpa. I haven't been down there for about 18 months and haven't seen how frail and skinny he is. He is a wonderful man and will be very missed here.
