In memory of...

President Hinckley. What an example he was. In the last few years I have thought of him as the Grandpa of the church. He has such a fun spirit and a personality and aura that draws you to him. He will be missed. I will miss him.

I love you Mike!

Boring!

Well, nothing is really going on at the Lawlor house. We are just working, spending time with friends and trying to stay warm!

I do have a funny little story...

Mike bought all of his family Simpsons pens (ballpoint pens) that talk! When you push the top it says something for whatever characters pen you have. I have Homer and Mike insisted on me taking it to work. I can't lie when I say I wanted to take it to work as well, just for laughs. (teehee) BUT, the thing is SO loud. Mike called me the other day at work and I asked him to pick up some groceries on his way home and the only way he was going to do it was if I pushed the pen. Although when I think about it now, I should have just hung up, cause I didn't want to push the pen. Of course, it was one of the longest quotes and it was so loud. My favorite quote that the pen says is "Today's the day for Homer J". Thank goodness everyone was too busy to notice or was too freaked out at the weirdo around the corner making noise! He was so proud of me for pushing it. He is a funny guy and I like that we can have so much fun together.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I hope all of you had a great Christmas! From your blogs it looks like you did. Mike and I went to Taber to be with most of Mike's family. We were only there for about 4.5 days as Mike had to work between Christmas and New Years. My company shuts down between Christmas and New Years so it was nice to be able to relax, clean the house and relax with friends.

Pictures of Christmas are on their way but here are a few random ones to tie you over! We got a snow blower from Grandma and Grandpa Rempel! (Thank you!) and thanks to mom and dad for bringing it to Taber and dad Lawlor for putting it on the truck!

We got some really nice frost on the trees and the other picture is me making homemade turtles. Mike was a great help as he wrapped the pecans in the toffee and I dipped them.
