Highlights:
Spiritual
Sunday was lovely with a music-filled Christmas program in Sacrament Meeting. My final time with my primary class was great and I will teach the 8-year-olds beginning in January. The Meikles stopped by and left toffee for us and took their ornament home with them.
Phoenix Temple remains closed for renovations.
My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day.
I have indexed 24,216 records and reviewed 112,312 records so far this year.
Family
The Wilkins Family
The Wilkins family started with week with sick kids and exhausted parents. Grace and Allison were so blessed to be able to enjoy their own ward Christmas program as they attended church together. The family is doing well. Mike and Allison are busy working but had time to create wonderful memories in their new home this year. It is decorated beautifully with their regular tree, a Jesus tree that helped them study the life of Christ and His miracles, and their Wilkins Family Jesse Tree. Adam is doing well and really enjoying his job. He continues to save up for a car. Grace is full of joy and happiness with friends and family and has enjoyed all her days this season. Josh and Sam are doing much better after a bout of Bronchitis and are ready for Santa to visit.
The Ethan Rice Family
Ethan, Cameo and the kids had a good week. Kaylee and Wade had school through Wednesday, Cameo worked, and Ethan finished up things around the house. He is truly enjoying his new 3D printer. Their Christmas Eve was spent enjoying a live nativity with some friends.
The Doran Rice Family
Kooper got to go fishing with Morgan and Cassie early Sunday. He had such a good time!!
Doran and Amber continue to feel just a little better day by day. We so enjoyed seeing them at our family Christmas Gift party!!
Morgan
Morgan is doing well and enjoys the jobs he gets to work.
Kayty
Kayty had a good week working and was a great help to me around the house!!
The Nathan Rice Family
What a week for this family!! Nathan invited us to decorate Gingerbread Houses with them on Sunday night. He makes his own gingerbread and template. These houses are huge and amazing. We had such a fun time actually decorating.
Early Wednesday morning, the girls came here and Jessica and Nathan went to the hospital. Within a few hours, Eve joined the family. The girls were totally smitten at all the pictures!!
The girls had a busy time here full of activities. They spent the night Wednesday night until Daddy came after breakfast on Thursday for them to see Grammy Lorrie.
They enjoyed Christmas Eve with Jessica's family. Christmas Day was a rough one. Santa came and the girls briefly enjoyed their gifts and a lovely breakfast. However, miss Eve had not been urinating enough, so Papa Ron picked up the girls and Nathan, Jessica and Eve spent her first Christmas at Phoenix Childrens Hospital getting ultrasounds and IV's. We were blessed that all was well and she was able to return home Sunday.
Dad's Garden
Christmas Eve was a very rainy one, and the garden LOVED that!!
Other highlights
Just loved all the Christmas lights this week. I ran on Christmas morning but with all the rain, most houses kept their lights off and soggy inflatables down. Still it was awesome.
We had our get-together for gifts on December 23rd. We were so glad and amazed that Jessica and Eve could be with us, only an hour after getting out of the hospital!
Dad and I visited Nano on Christmas Eve, brought her a gift, and visited with her and Zelda. She enjoyed the visit.
