We had our home ward's Christmas party this week, and they had a picture-taking station set up. Aren't we cute?? Kevin had bishop stuff to do for the YSA ward. We missed him! Beth, Ben, and I had a yummy turkey dinner, helped where we could, and talked to old friends. It warms me up to think of all the friends we've made in this ward.


We had a family girls Christmas party this week, too! Savannah, Sarah, Megan, Mariah, Bethany, and I went to Grandma's house to watch a Hallmark movie. Afterward, Grandma fed us chili and we got to enjoy the cookies that she and Sarah made. I think we might need to make that a Christmas tradition!

Bethany made it to another full week of school! Hurrah!! She had some rough days where she came home and needed to disconnect from all of us, but she got up and went to school everyday anyway. I admire that. Very admiral! And guess what? Friday after school, she stayed after and passed her driving test! Next week, we should be able to go to the DMV and make her legal to drive by herself. Yay!

Benjamin had school and guitar and he even spent some time doing homework this week. Poor guy got sick at the end of the week, though, and he stayed home Thursday and Friday with a fever. It's usually pretty bad for him to stay home from school! He was feeling well enough Saturday to go out with neighborhood friends including Beth to the mall. It's always fun to see friends doing stuff together!

Savannah went back to work this week! She said she started out pretty slow but worked back up to being speedy. It's also hitting her with the familiar fatigue. She did make it all week, though! We will see how it goes.

I did homework, wrapped up presents, and started a new project sorting old photos. I also enjoyed it whenever my married kids stopped by. I love how I'm still part of their lives! 

Kevin had a friend get him into a dermatologist this week and he had a mole on his forehead removed. It's hurting and he doesn't like that! He's still as busy as ever helping kids in the YSA ward, doing more clients at work, and continuing his podcasts and online content creation. When he's not involved in those projects, he is learning and playing in the stock market. Does that count as down time? Love that man!
