Catch up on us.

We are days away from the "Big Day" and, actually, I think everything is ready to go. So I thought I would catch up on what has been happening here. We had some computer problems and had to switch to another form of getting to all our info. I know, I know, I don't explain it well because I am so not the computer person in the family! So I can't get the pictures off the camera to put on here, is my point. When I get Daniel in the appropriate position tonight, I will have him show me what I have been doing wrong, or whatever it is that is keeping me from figuring it out. I thought I had it, darn.

Saturday we had Ruthie's Joy School Christmas program. They sang songs, did the Nativity where Ruthie was "Mary", then we had cookies and juice. Grandma and grandpa (Daniel's mom and dad) came, and Abbie and Meme (my mom and grandma) came. We took pictures, but, alas, I cannot get to them now. We got a great 4 generation picture that turned out really nice. (Pictures will show at a later time...)

On Sunday at church, Sam drew a picture of a rainbow and smiley face and wrote "Sam" and "Jezis". He said that it's a picture for Jesus, from Sam, and that I need to get it to Jesus. Ruthie drew a picture and said I need to send it to Heavenly Father. It's nice to know they think I have those kinds of connections, so I think I will tuck the pictures away to give to them when they're older. (Picture to follow..)

Ruthie likes to wear those plastic princess high heels. Whoever invented those should be required to wear plastic high heeled shoes everyday. She constantly slips, but keeps wearing them! I guess maybe the person who bought them should be shot, too. As she came running out of the kitchen this morning, she slid and landed on her tuckus and said, "I almost forgot about the landing!" Then got up and continued on her way. I guess she's used to falling and must forget that it happens every time she has those shoes on! She cracks me up with all the little sayings she picks up from her Strawberry Shortcake movies and other shows.

Monday night we went to Temple Square. We got to pick Daniel up from work and go to dinner, then get bundled up for the cold. It was surprisingly nice out there. The crowds were very small and had just picked up when we left shortly after 7. The nice thing about Daniel working for the church is that we always have free parking in the Conference Center lot. Can't beat free parking in Salt Lake. (Pictures forthcoming...)

That's quite a bit and yet not really so much. I am not doing Christmas cards this month, in case you were expecting one. I never have my act together enough to do them. My plan is that January will bring our family update by mail. (But then again, maybe not.)

Merry Christmas, everyone!
