Christmas Eve

P.F. Changs for dinner (A delicious family tradition)



Evie having a good time

Reading of past family poems (Yip, Yip and a Yup, Yup)



Grandma snuggling little Stew

And of course it wouldn't be Christmas Eve without the classic Jingle Bell song on the piano. Dad and Stewart acted as proxies for Sunny and Livy since they couldn't be there.

"Do you like my crown?"

I thought Evie was just watching a cartoon as I was blow drying my hair, when she came streaking past the bathroom completely naked except for a crown on her head. This probably might be normal for some kids, but not for Evie. 1. She likes to have clothes on- especially her underwear. 2. Today was the first time I’ve ever seen her wear that crown. (We’ve had that crown since she turned 2 in August.) When I asked her what she was doing… the only thing she said was, “Do you like my crown?” I couldn’t stop laughing and of course had to take a picture.

The Old People Win!

In the previous blog, I said I wasn't sure what I was more excited about - a park, cable or old people in the new ward. The old people win this- hands down. Church was extremely entertaining today. During Sacrament the bishop specifically asked to keep testimonies short ... the cute old people couldn't help but to tell their stories. It was classic! We heard about new hips, and sicknesses, war stories... oh it was fun. In Relief Society there were several shouts from the ladies for the teacher to speak louder. I even saw a lady knitting as she listened. ( I was a little jealous, it looked like she was making something really fun.)

I think all the oldies are really going to love Stewart in this ward. Stewart has a hard time getting out of conversations when he needs to be somewhere else. He got snagged for 15 minutes today talking to the cutest old man that wasn't about to let him walk away, until he told Stewart his life story. I just smiled and smiled.

Sunny you weren't kidding when you said the old people are really old. There are a few that fell asleep during Sunday School and I thought for sure they had passed on.

I seriously can't wait for the fun next week.

It's official

We have moved to Provo. We are for the most part finished with unpacking. It’s kind of fun to be back in Provo, although I do miss Draper. And I’m not sure what I’m more excited about…having a park a block away, having cable, or a ward with some really old people. It’s all very exciting.
