Christmas party

So it has started. We attended our first family Christmas party of the season. It was the annual Dinsdale Christmas party. I have no idea how many we have had because we have always had one it seems. My brother Corey hosted this one. We decided to start rotating this year because it seems the same person always seems to feel like they should do it. We went to Corey's ward and ate and played games. It was fun and nice to be with the family. Most of my family came and so it was nice to see mostly everyone. My sister Rachel came late and gave us the progress report on my nephew Jayden. He has come such a long way and we are all so grateful. He can now walk with some help and is working to get his speech back. The other day, Jeremy wrote a letter to Santa that we mailed at a special mailbox at our local Santa hangout. Well he got a reply and since he mentioned that his cousin Jayden was sick in the hospital, Santa sent a letter for Jayden too. So I gave it to my sister. She and her husband strongly feel that Jayden will be home for Christmas. It was thought it would be February so it will be really neat if he's home for Christmas. Rachel said that Jayden said he wanted to be normal again. He also wants to go home. We were all talking about how my sister and her husband could have handled all of this so much differently and been bitter about it and thought why did this happen to us and it's all so horrible. But they didn't and have turned it all to the positive. Jayden is loved and knows that he is. The healing power of love is definetely something the medical community can't explain.
