It Must Be the Christmas Season. I felt Very blessed today and actually had a wonderful day! Here's Why:
Final-Ly finals! And The Beginning of Christmas Break!
Today I left the testing center, leaping in the air because the semester was finally OVER and because I did Well on my Final! I think it was all thanks to the complete stranger who said "Good Luck" to me as she was walking past me. I'm so grateful for her. ; ) Actually, now that I think about it, it's ALL thanks to my Mom and my Visiting Teacher. My Mom, because she was willing to drop ALL of her plans to drive an hour north, in the traffic and snow, just so I could take a test! Gotta love my Ma! My Visiting Teacher because she came to my aid just when I needed it. I had lost her number and was literally in the middle of trying to find it when she called me! Next thing I knew, she was taking care of my kids and I was sitting in the testing center.I MET SANTA CLAUS!
I now believe in Santa Claus. I had just left the testing center and was walking home when I saw Him. "Hey look, It's Santa." I said. I thought it was peculiar that Santa was just walking around on Campus. Not something you see everyday. Then, as I passed by him I said "Hello!" and what Happened!?
He handed me a 10 Dollar Bill!!! Way to finish a semester of School! Thanks Santa!
So yeah. Now, I'm a believer.
CHRISTMAS PARTY!
A couple of hours after I got home from school we went to our ward Christmas Party!
There's nothing quite as awesome as a Spanish Ward, Especially ours. But...I may be just a little bias since it is my ward and all.
At the party:
-we ate a delicious dinner.
-we took family pictures with santa. When Jayden saw santa enter the room his eyes lit up and it
was like nothing else existed...for a second or two. Once he got his toy/candy bag, Santa was out of the picture.
-We danced Merengue, Salsa and Whatever we wanted! All four of us had a blast
dancing. It was no one-man dance. Everyone who was anyone was on the dance floor.
- Jayden Got New...Shorts. His pants (and underwear) got wet while we were at the party. When I checked the diaper bag there was an extra pair of underwear, a shirt for jayden, some pants and a pink T-shirt for abby. I had to get creative so... we turned a pink shirt into some cool shorts. Jayden didn't like the idea all that much. "No MOM. Those are abby's pants" he kept protesting(while I forced the sleeves of the shirt over his shoes). Finally, I couldn't help it. I just busted up laughing and said "No. They're not abby's pants buddy." worse. "It's her shirt." BWAAAAHAAA HAA!
It's a moment where you have to be there for it to be funny. Lucky for him, Dad came back with some of JAYDEN's pants before we took our family picture.
-Last, but not least, we got to take home nicely-wrapped, empty gift-boxes that were about to be thrown away. Now we'll be able to wrap our kids gifts by doing a lot less. Just re-open the top of the empty gift-boxes and place the toys inside of them!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!!!

Summary.
To wrap things up, this day was filled with blessings and joy and I thank the people who made it so, including my Savior, Jesus Christ, And My God above who gave me this wonderful life and all the good that is in it. I am so grateful for this Christmas Season, which inspires so many to give a little more than the usual. I hope I, and all of us, can do the same!MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!!!
