The Holidays!

Well, it's been a while since I've updated this blog! Life has been a little more busy since last time! Tom is still enjoying his job at the hospital, but looking for a job closer to home and one that will hopefully get him into the I.C.U. sooner! I've been working as a nanny for two little boys for just about a month now, and I love it!!! I'm really having a great time taking care of them! The family is awesome and I'm really having a fun time teaching Jacob (5 years old) how to play the piano! He is catching on SOOOOO well and quickly!!!
Life is going great for us! We were able to spend Thanksgiving in Kentucky with Ann and Matt and their girls, and we had an added bonus! Grandpa and Grandma Mecham were there visiting too, and a few of Ann's friends! So, we had a great night eating and playing games!!! We even went shooting the next day before we drove home! We had a great time! Something funny that happened was.... Jackalynn (Ann's youngest)kept sticking her tongue out and her dad said "Jack, if you keep sticking out your tongue, Tom will eat your tongue!" And up till this point, Jack didn't like Tom very well..... but after that, she was his best friend!!!! It was so funny!!! Sadly, these are the only two pictures that I got on Thanksgiving! (Plastic spoons over our eyes!) And Christmas was really fun! It was a little hard to be so far away from home and family, but we were able to do webcam video calls and so it didn't feel so much like we weren't there! Tom and I had to do things a day early because he had to work on the 25th, 26th, and 27th. =( So, we did Christmas Eve on the 23rd and Christmas day on the 24th! My parents gave us a WII, and Tom thought he was sure he knew what it was.... so I had to play a little trick on him, and on Christmas morning, he was totally surprised! We got spoiled this year! Tom enjoying his new gift! And, today, being the last sunday of the year, was the last day I had with my primary class! I was only with them for about 2 months, and they were really fun! I taught 6 six year old girls! I get to start teaching 5 seven year olds next week, and they all will be 8 this year and getting baptized!!! This is my primary class! Cute girls!!!
