Well there has been a very strong spirit of Christmas this year! Its been so nice to see and visit with my family! This year wasn't like most other Christmas', Its beena tough year for all of us...but you know...the Christmas season isn't about presents! So I am so glad that this year was the way it was! It helped me focus on the true meaning of Christmas! We should never forget that this is the season we remember our Savior coming to the earth, to prepare a way for us to return and live with him again! What a beautiful promise!!
While i was with my family in Mexico i was able to get to know my Grandmother Johnson better! She makes me laugh so hard! There is a funny story about her, the night before my Aunt Maree was able to come down,(b/c my Aunt Jo who lives there with here had gone to the Carribbean to visit my Uncle Daniel for Christmas) my sister Alli and I were able to spend the night with Grandma! Well the next morning when we were having breakfast, we were talking about weight and stuff then all of a sudden my Grandma had turned to Alli and said, "you need to gain more weight, you are too skinny!" Cause my sister is tiny! It was so funny cause she was SERIOUS!! Then Alli said, "Well its not my fault that i play basketball and excersise!" my Grandma then said, "I just wish that i was able to excersise more, but my heart and body just won't allow it!" My Grandma is 93!! and she is saying this!! but then I said, "Grandma at your age you aren't supposed to be excersising!" Then my Grandma turned and looked at me and said, "at my age I should be down in the dumps!" I just couldn't believe that this came out of my Grandmothers mouth!! I just couldn't stop laughing! It was sooo funny! I am just so glad and very grateful for the opportunity for being able to get to know her and have fun and experiance so much with her! She is so strong, in more ways than one! She goes to the temple anytime she can. She is still working in the temple down there! I just hope and pray that i will be able to go through the temple and have her there with me! We have been so blessed to have her here still with us! I love her so much!
This is Me and my Grandma!! Beautiful ain't she?!

You are right your grandma is Sweet. I love her too. I don't know many from her generation but I have gotten to know her and I Love her too. She is still so sharp for her age. You are one lucky girl and I am sure she is proud to have such an awesome grand-daugher. I am glad you had a good time with your family. Happy New year!
