Vernal

We planned to go to Vernal the Sunday before Christmas because we wouldn't be able to come out for Christmas or afterwards because of my aunts wedding. We wanted to wish the Howcroft's Merry Christmas and give them their Christmas gifts so this seemed like the best option. Except Sunday morning I woke up super sick. We had to get our Stake Presidency temple reccomend interviews at 8 Sunday morning so it was a pretty early morning for us. I did not feel well at all but endured anyway. Kirk was singing in the ward choir Christmas concert so I had all 3 kids to myself for the whole meeting. Not a huge deal unless you feel like death. It was all I could do to not stare at the clock and watch the seconds go by. At one point the girls had to use the bathroom and Timothy and I found ourselves sitting on the floor in the hallway, I just didn't have energy to do anything else. I had to teach sunbeams that day and Kirk was already subbing in another class. But luckily our friend stepped in and subbed for Kirk so Kirk could sub for me. I came home and collapsed into bed.
Kirk being the huge hero he is, decided to take all 3 kids to Vernal so I could rest and get better for Christmas! So he packed all 3 kids and took them to Vernal (after doing a medicine run for me!). He stopped by my parents for an hour to be there for Chelsey's graduation party. He took all 3 kids to Stetson's birthday party that night and then put them all to bed at his parents. They enjoyed the morning at his moms and came home around lunch time. Is he not the most amazing man, ever?!
Meanwhile I didn't even leave my bedroom the whole time. Unfortunately Kirsten didn't feel great when they got home and the precedent for our Christmas week was set.

I think Timothy missed his mom :)
