The tree is up. The packages are wrapped. We've been to several outstanding Christmas programs, including the Tabernacle Choir with David Archuleta, we've shopped, eaten out a time or two, bent our diets, had family over to make cookies, had a sleep-over with a couple of girls, sewm a skirt, rode Trax to Temple Square, participated in the Ward Choir Program, scraped 8" of snow off or the deck at least twice, and generally prepared ourselves for both Christmas and New Year's Eve! Yes, I know it's a bit early for that, but I like to be prepared!!
Joe and Andy dropped in last weekend so we could give them a pillow of themselves that a friend made for us. Of course, thay had several other reasons for being in town, but it was good to see them. I think Joe's ankle looks great; surgery fixes a lot of problems...
Christmas truly is for children! I gave piano students small stockings with boxes of "Junior Mints" and they all seemed thrilled! Tis the Season, I guess.
Merry Christmas to All! Let the good times roll!!
