Michelle's Birthday

Here's a few more for you all who couldn't be there.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

May your day be merry and bright.........

Just in Time

A must do for everyone before Christmas. Just print out, fold, and cut away.

Shopping

I don't even like shopping, but with the bulk of our kitchen work behind us and with the plumbing done for our new washer and dryer we just had to get out yesterday!  It took all day, except for our pancake breakfast.

We went to:

• Home Depot - looked for paint colors for our bedroom
• H & M - got a shirt for Justin, sweater for me and hair clips for the girls
• Sweet Tomatoes - Linner! (lunch/dinner)
• Ryan's Diamonds - got both of our rings cleaned and replated and caught up with Ryan
• Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory - chocolate! and other treat bribes for being good in the stores for Jaime
• Downeast - shirt and two undershirts for me
• Aeropostale - jeans for me!  Yay, jeans that fit.
• Ikea - bathroom step stool for Jaime and new sliding shelves for my pantry

Just thought you'd all enjoy that. I married into a shopping family.

IT'S GONE IT'S GONE IT'S GONE

That's right. Merry Christmas to us our house is officially SOLD. The offer was approved and an extension given to make it possible 3 days before auction. How blessed. How grateful.

Happy Birthday April

Yep, I am posting the same day of the event. I know, crazy. That's me, crazy.

Warm, sunny, and almost went swimming. Instead we enjoyed a nice family run, super yummy tamales, and a fabulous cake.

Fun Quote

Yesterday Liz and I went to the Nauvoo temple to assist with the Youth baptismal trip. We had some of Liz's family names that needed to be done, so we took the opportunity, and had a wonderful time. Before the session began, the temple President, Spencer J. Condie, spoke to the youth about various things, and gave a sage piece of witty advice. He said if your friends are skeptical about the story of the restoration, and specifically the first vision, there is a simple way to help them understand it. He instructed them to tell their friends to:

"Ask God if it really happened. He knows. After all, He was there."

So there you go.

Father Christmas

Dad was Father Christmas at our community tree lighting last night. Thought you might all enjoy a picture.
