MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!!! We had a wonderful Christmas this year, of course they are always superb in the Mecham household!! It was a little different this year first year for Kim and I to not be either with a large Mecham or Holliday gathering. So it was pretty laid back and relaxed. We did stockings around 7 am, sorry Stef no need for early rising here. Then cruised to the Burke's and had a great breakfast extravaganza. Hung out and chatted with the Burkes and the Elders. Aslynn opened her books from Kim and I and Bre opened her gifts from me. It was anice relaxed morning. We went home and spent the afternoon opening our gifts from each other, and in no particular order:
Kim was a little weirded out cuz I hooked her up with a holiday scratcher in her stocking.
This is my loves fake smile, notice the ever present cell phone.
Anne of Green Gables trilogy, definitely scoring a spot net to all those other precious movies!
One of many Cricut cartridges, ALL MIXED UP!!
My awesome flexy LED lights, for doing anything, mostly reading in bed so as not to awake my love with my bedside lamp, sadly she did not know how bright these babies were, she got one as well.
My stocking plunder, big score!!! For those who have yet to try the new Snickers, I highly recommend, SNICKERS PEANUT BUTTER, YUMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Tons of phone stuff for the Droid, I know I am behind my other siblings but still excited!!!!

Oh wait is that more Cricut stuff, WHOOOOPPIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! Thats probably it for the Cricut things..........
Yeah right Cricut stuff is like having CASH MONEY, you can never have too much. (Sadly it is one or the other in the Mecham household, Cash or Cricut, and this blog shows the obvious winner, by a landslide!!!!

CAN YOU FEEL IT!!!!!!!!
Yeah cherry on the cake, an oversized Ipod Touch or in the inner circles of Apple, an I-Pad!!!!
My wife loves me and way over did it, I will not get into the debate of whether or not I deserved any of my awesome presents, because I am pretty sure we all know where that would end up. (I would hate to have to return items!)
Hope everyone had a great Christmas, and enjoyed the time the had with family and friends. Life is good, there is no complaints coming from this Mecham Household. Kim is enjoying YW and I have been released from Elders again and called to the trenches of Primary!!!! Let the battle begin!!!!!!
For those of you in doubt, let me reiterate a few TRUTHS:
The Church is true! President Monson is the living Prophet that leads the Church! Joseph Smith was the first Prophet in these Latter Days, (not just cuz he has a sweet first name), he translated the Book of Mormon and restored the Church with the aid of the Spirit of God!
We are a blessed generation, choosen to walk the earth in these turbulant times, to prepare the earth for the second coming of our Savior. Scary? A little. Exciting? ALOT!!!
It's a new year, if you are not holding to the Iron Rod, reorganize your lives, set some goals, and look forward to an Eternity with Kim and I, oh yeah does it get any better!!!!!
Love,
J/K Mecham
Kim at the patch, it was all fun and games til it started raining, we did not actually buy a pumpkin this year but the visiting was nice, maybe next year!!
