Well this is what it looked like last night when I was driving home from Clearfield. The kids and I had gone down for our annual Gingerbread House making party. We stopped briefly to talk with Lynnett and Keith then were on the road by 7 p.m. As we were sitting a red light waiting to get on the free way Wyatt said "Mom, I'm worried about driving home tonight! I don't think it's going to be safe" My response to him "Let's say a prayer" We pulled over to the side of the road as Wyatt said the prayer you could feel the spirit so strongly and it had given us the reassurance that it was going to be OK. Wyatt had even said "Mom, did you feel that?" As we continued to drive home, both of the kids had fallen asleep. Through Willard Bay the fog was so thick I couldn't even see the reflectors on the side of the road. I just kept saying to myself "it's going to be OK" Well, things got really scary after that. We missed our exit (due to the fact you couldn't see the exit signs) as I traveled slowly down the freeway I got off at the next exit, I pulled over and called Shawn. He was able to get on the computer and pull up where I was at. Amazing I ended up off the freeway somewhere close to Crystal Hot Springs. I was able to slowly make my way home from there. After a 1 hour and 32 minute drive home, we made it. I have never felt so blind before in my life. With no landmarks visible to help guide me home, I knew through the power of prayer that my Heavenly Father had helped guide me home. I am so thankful for prayer and for an amazing husband to keep me calm through such a scary situation.

Ginger Bread Houses
For the past 14 years it has been a Willis tradition to make Gingerbread Houses together. Each year we all gather as cousins, aunts and uncles to do this. Grandma and Grandpa are there also to enjoy every minute of it to! I love doing this!! The frosting is gross, it makes a big mess, but the smile on the kids faces when they are done is well worth it all!! As this holiday season is here, may we remember all of the many blessings that we have received and the many blessings yet to come!! I am so thankful for a wonderful family that I have and the wonderful family that I have married into. May you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
