I had a meltdown on Sunday! I don't usually act like that, but the month has been so stressful and I felt like I had had it with it not going as planned! I know, cry me a river, I didn't get my way. You know when the stress mounts and you just can't take one more thing on your plate? Well, I am over it and I am ready for another nine innings! I realized I still had this week to make it all happen the way I'd hoped!We had a special Christmas dinner last night at my parent's home. The grandchildren put on the story of the birth of the Savior. It was precious! That's what it's all about!
The other highlight of the evening was putting together the humanitarian kits. We decided as a family to skip all the gifts to each other and instead make hygiene kits that will go all over the world to aid people in need. It was SO much fun! In total, we completed 50 family kits which will serve 200 people! 
I hope we plan to make it a tradition! My sister's ward got on board and they have an entire van filled with stuff for these kits. I can't wait to see the final number when they are all completed! Merry Christmas Friends! Hope you have a wonderful week!

Laura that little nativity scene is so precious and your right - that is what its all about.
I LOVE the idea of doing humanitarian kits rather than gifts. That Tyrell family - who can keep up?!? Love you!
