Christmas Tunes
Seriously is there anything better than they are. When I need to deep clean, need a pick me up or just to make me smile. Be it July or the day after Halloween, I love to listen to them. And come to find out Bridger is exactly the same. Enjoy the new playlist. Who knows it may be up for awhile.
He did get a few things from me after all. Some days I just miss him more than ever. Today is one of them...

A Family Photo...minus 1
I love to send out Christmas cards, it truly is one of my favorite parts of the holidays. In fact, I love to receive them. I put them on our door so as we come and go we can see our family and friends who have always meant so much to us. Love them!!!
This year I had a difficult time doing one. I have always done the boys together or a family pic, but I knew it would be different. Our ward put together a fun board at the Christmas breakfast and in preparation for this a family picture was taken. I am posting it just to have for my posterity and journaling sake, but still feels not quite complete.
I did get our card done, it's individual pictures of the boys, Stetson in NYC, Caleb with the catch of the day, and Bridger, Elder Clayton now in Honduras. It will be a couple of years before a real family Christmas photo is taken, but for now life is just as it should be. Elder Clayton blessing the lives of those he meets on his mission and us having the faith to pray and wait for his safe return.
Merry Christmas. I am off to make a countdown chain for Bridger's call...I'm such a nerd.
Happy Holidays from most of the Clayton Family!

Something Wicked this way Blows
Holy Cow! This week we had a real windstorm. Schools were cancelled, 30+ year trees were uprooted and if that's not enough, we are preparing for another one to hit this evening. We went to church this morning and our bishop read a letter to hold Sacrament meeting and then allow all to go home and batan down the hatches for the next one. Here are a few pictures of what took place at some of the areas around town. Some were without power for hours or even a few days. A great time to realize we all can be better prepared for if something big hits. We are very grateful to be protected and safe and able to help out our friends and neighbors with devastation that happened to them.
