Well it has been an interesting week. Ashley and Josh came in Wednesday night. We cooked and talked that night. On Christmas we had a steady stream of people coming through this house. We ended up with Lloyd, me, Ashley, Josh, Allison, Colton, Amanda, Andy, Haelee, my mom and dad, Beverly, Dale, Tiffany, and Mark. It was a great day full of laughter and joy. I was so afraid it would not be that away. But it turned out great!

Allison had been alittle distracted lately and wanted to talk with Colton. She finally did talk to him a couple of days after Christmas. I know those kids really care for each other. I hope it worked out things for her. We went to Casa Ole prior to her talking with him. She was very quiet....I figured she was thinking on what to say to him. I was right I found out later on. I tried to stress that the most important thing in a relationship was communication. I hope she will learn that point soon. I tried telling her he was not a mind reader. All the guys in the family told her that "guys just do not get it" and sometimes you just have to spell it out for them. She had been frustrated, but the talk seem to help her. Afterwards she had a smile on her face.

We played cards and laughed alot! Learned a new game Phase 10. I lost bad both times. I can not get Phase 7.....2 sets of 4. It is really hard. I like having to get runs.....so much easier. I would come close on the 2 sets of 4, but someone would always go out before I could make it.
