Preparing for Christmas!

We were going to go ahead and continue with school this week, but we decided to take this week off of school to prepare for Christmas and enjoy some fun together.

We shopped for all the food yesterday so hopefully if all goes well....we will not have to go into any of the crazy stores the rest of this week.  For the past two years we have decided to just enjoy Christmas.  No big meal that keeps anyone in the kitchen all day long.  We are going to have all different kinds of appetizers and desserts....yum! 

Today Daniel took Bob Nandell to lunch to thank him for all the camera things and all the time he has spent teaching Daniel about photography.  They had a great time together and then Bob had a surprise for Daniel today too....a digital camera.  He was so surprised and is so excited to be able to take digital pictures on Christmas.  He will continue to use the film camera and it is currently loaded with black and white film.  Bob...what a blessing you have been...words can not express our gratitude to you.

The kids are all excited because on Friday morning they are headed out with some friends of ours for the day...they have lots of fun things planned!  And John and I get to spend some time together....yeah!  Thank you for this GREAT present, April and Dylan.

We are looking forward to such enjoyable time together as a family.  God has truly blessed us with wonderful children and has blessed our family so much.  We celebrate Christmas for it's true meaning....the birth of our Savior....and we are looking forward to a fun weekend and even the following week together.
