"The History Of LoVe"

I Just Finished a book called "The History of Love" by Nicole Krauss. It's a Fiction and really good. I read it at work where I have nothing to do from 10am to 3pm. My brother-in-law let me borrow it and It has three different stories and they all intertwine with each other. It was so much better then I had thought it would be and I really felt for the old man in the book. It was funny because I would be getting kind of emotional, starting to tear up, and then a customer would of course walk in and I had to then try to quickly wipe away my tears and act like I had just yawned or something. It was pretty funny, and tugged at my heart. I love books like this. As soon as I was done I tried to tell Ben all about it! I want him to read it so bad so we could talk about it, but the name of the book " History of Love" does not turn him on to it? Oh well..... I thought I would share it though. It is a really good book!

Merry Christmas time!!

Ben and I had such a Wonderful Christmas this year. It started on Wed. When Sarah, Tim, Isaac and Landon came into town. That night we were all together making Graham cracker houses. It was so much fun! Ben made of course a BYU one, I made a Fairy house, My sister in law made a Crack house complete with Cinnamon bear wearing a wife beater. haha. Every ones were so cute and we had a good time eating all the Candy that came with perfecting them.

On Thursday We acted out the Christmas Story. Talia, me and Sarah were angels. Erin, Seth and Emmy were Mary, Joseph and baby- as Sarah would say- Baby Jebus. Tim Was a shepherd with his boys Landon and Isaac as sheep. Ben, Jesse and Schuyler were Wise men. We had such a great time and we were all filled with the Sprit of Christ.

Christmas day was full of presents, games, snacks and naps. I have to say Band hero was one of the funniest times of the day. Sarah trying to sing Janet Jackson song Black Cat, I think? haha oh, so funny we could not get the rhythm of the song. It being like 2 in the morning I think also made if a little funnier. loved every second.

Merry Christmas

Family

I wish I could see you at Christmas! But, not being there made me think of all my Brothers, Sisters, Mom and Dad and how much you all mean to me! I jotted down a few things that stuck out in my mind about all of you. Miss you all and Hope you enjoy it!


Mom you have so many good talents like hula whooping all over the place,
I always remember not to tickle you or you’ll punch me in the face.

Dad you have an act for kindness, I have always admired you for that.
I like how you wear tight pants, cowboy boots and a cement mixer hat.

Shelly you have always been able to sing like a bird.
I like that you make books, are funny and so absurd.

Holly you are witty and the smartest one of all,
I love your pies, your eyes, and that your nose is so small.

Heidi is just so lovable any one could tell you that,
I used to pee on you when I was little, and you were as cool as a cat.

Tim you’re so funny, like walks, and to keep the house clean.
You grow a beard for the winter but keep it through spring; you’re so lovable but that beard makes you look so mean.

Ron you like church, want babies, work somewhere and never give anything away for free.
“Sorry Tom”, and “I don’t know?” Are between you and me.

Jake you are so hilarious you always have been.
Would you rather eat steak or poke your eyes out with a pen?

Nathan is the baby and always will be
I’ll know him in Heaven where he is waiting for me.


Merry Christmas!!!
Love you all, Katie
