How was your Thanksgiving week? We were thinking of you as we ate our turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. Caleb, you probably were able to enjoy some turkey but Jacob, you probably didn't feel up to eating at all. I hope your nausea is slowly going away and that you are regaining your strength. President Robinson said that you were thinking of attending church today! Wow! Know your limits and ease on into it. Caleb, we just realized that you only have 2 more p-days where we'll receive your letters from out in the field. I'm sure you don't like to think about that and it seems very unreal to all of us here as well!
Dad had a very productive weekend, even on Thanksgiving Day. It was such amazing weather here that we were able to work outside that morning. Dad has made a lot of progress in the storage room shelving out in the garage. Adam has even helped with the putty and sanding of them. Now the first coat of paint is on and they're waiting for the 2nd and final coat before we put them up! It will be so nice. Dad got busy with all of the blinds downstairs do now you'll both have privacy in your bedrooms! They look so sharp! We made homemade vanilla this summer with real Tahitian vanilla beans. They're very expensive, which is why, real vanilla cost so much! We filled 24 small bottles last night to give away to our close neighbors and friends got Christmas.
Last night, Adam had a group of 8 guys here to play a swat game on both TVs upstairs. But, the most fun they had was after, when they played murder in the dark downstairs for 3 hours. They'll be back to do that again! Samantha gave a talk in church today as the youth speaker. She spoke on Tithes and Offerings and did a great job. She wasn't very excited to do it though. Two minutes before Sacrament Meeting started, Brother Field came to me and said that our organist for the meeting hadn't showed up yet so he asked if I could fill in. Whoa!! It's a good thing two out of the three songs were easy. The last one was pretty scary!
Well, our house is all ready for the Holidays except for our Christmas tree. It's up, but maybe we'll just leave it as a tall empty evergreen tree with pretty lights.
Enjoy this wonderful time of the year and count your blessings! I am so thankful for you two and your wonderful example to all of us. Here comes December!
Love you!
Mom
