CHRISTMASTIME IS HERE!!!!

Well, it's been a while since I last posted. Life has been a little hectic to say the least. We had a great Thanksgiving at our house with Rich's mom, and sisters Bekee, and Rachael and their families, and we got to get a picture of my baby Bailee, Rachel's baby MaKayla, and Ronni's baby Tabitha together. MaKayla was born in July, and Bailee and Tabitha are only a week a part, both born in September. This makes 28 grandchildren and 17 grandaughters for Grandma Gloria, pretty crazy! Anyways, December is going quick, and of course we got our Christmas tree and decorations up finally, and our elf Link has come to make sure the Rodgers kids are staying on Santa's good list this year. He flys to the North Pole each night to report their behavior to Santa, and takes a new spot when he returns. It's always a race between Seth, Matt, & Megan to see where Link will be next. It's fun to see the excitement on their faces when they tell me where he is, and they love to feed him cookies, crackers, and whatever they can think of, and boy is Link quick he will sometimes eat their snacks so fast that the kids can hardly believe it! We took the kids to see Santa for FHE last monday, I forgot my camera to take some pics of them, we did get a pic of all of them on Santa's lap that you have to pay for, but I can't post it. They were all excited to tell Santa their requests and even Bailee was content to sit on his lap. I hope all of you are enjoying this Christmas time with your families and remembering the "reason for the season." I am so thankful for my Savior Jesus Christ and all he has done for me. I love him and his gospel more than words could ever express. He is the light of the world, and through him we find our greatest peace, joy, & salvation!
If I don't post again before Christmas, I hope all of you have a very Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas!!!!! Rachael, Mom, Me, and Bekee

Yeah!!! It's Christmas time!


Our cute Elf Link!
