merry elfin' christmas love santa cros

for the past 3 years my dad has played santa at the annual clark christmas party...we call him santa cros. he's so cute with the kids and i always laugh my head off at his attempt to speak like santa. his voice always lowers with his ho ho ho's. this year his lovely little elf candy cane joined him. my niece rylee ran up to my mom and said is your name cany cane? my mom excitedly replied YES! after she left my niece went around telling everyone that her class had written letters to santa's elves and the elf who wrote her back named candy cane came to the party this year to see her. what a christmas miracle! also, elder sean clark got back from his mission a couple days ago from minnesota, we are soo happy to have him home!

missing summer

i've been sick for the past few days and my head is so congested i want to chop it off! snowy, cold, sick days like this make me miss the beach and summer! i never get sick in the summer, i can go running ouside witout my lungs freezing up and my fingers feeling like they're going to fall off and i just look so much better with a golden glow. adam always prays that it will snow and i pray that is won't so i guess he just has more faith than me. i HATE being sick and i also HATE snow! i really miss these days....
