The Week Before Christmas
JJ Skinner came over for dinner on Monday night for FHE. He was just starting finals so it was a big week for him. He goes in to the MTC on January 20th and since he already speaks Japanese, he will be there for 10 days and then off to Sapporo. He is excited to go-- It was fantastic to see him again!
On Tuesday, Luke and Amy went on a hayride for YM/YW. They had a great time! It was a bit loud for Luke, but he loved it and didn't want it to end. On Wednesday, the Relief Society had a "Christmas Cozy" which was basically drinking hot cocoa and visiting at the Steven's house. Thursday was special needs mutual, but we couldn't get Luke to go in for the Christmas party. He did roller blade around the parking lot for a half hour or so which was great exercise for him. That night Tim and I made hundreds of gyoza for a Christmas party at Waterford for one of his classes. They also had hot cocoa for the students to celebrate the start of Christmas break-FUN!
Amy had been practicing driving in the church parking lot. She loves it!
Rick and Kelsee surprised us with a visit. They brought some fun presents and said a quick hello before returning to Logan. Rick has early morning work so he had to get going. He is planning to be in Logan for Christmas which is probably a good idea because it is supposed to snow, but I think we should be able to face time him in for Brian's Christmas call!
Here is a new idea for a Chritmas tradition:
