2. Bring the missionaries into our home more often
3. Have family scripture study each night
4. Do my visiting teaching each month

Vacation

So far, vacation has been great. I've been sleeping in, getting lots of things done, but not stressing about anything. I'm almost done with a scrapbook I'm making for Gram Record. I sent a form with 4 questions on it to all 22 of her grandchildren. I also asked everyone to send a picture along with it. 17 have sent them back so far. I love how it's turning out. I can't wait to give it to her on Christmas Day! I've also been making a few digital pages, watching TV, reading to Nathan, etc. I'm going to go make some chocolate chip cookies right now, because Santa is coming early! Amber & Ashley flew in this afternoon and Dan is picking up Megan on his way back from the airport. We'll have all the kids tomorrow, but we have to bring Megan back tomorrow night, so Santa is coming tonight!

The Blind Side

Dan and I went to see this movie last night. It was so good! It was so inspiring, especially knowing that it is a true story. It even caused me consider taking in a teenager (but only for a few seconds). I totally recommend this movie.

9 down, 27 to go!

I now officially have 9 credits done towards my master's degree. Yay! We just finished up our class tonight. It's been fun and interesting, but I'm ready for a few weeks off.

Snow Day

Aaaaaaahhhh, the first snow day of the season! Unfortunately, I didn't get called, so I thought there was school. Nathan and I got ready and drove over to school. There were only two cars in the parking lot, so I knew I had missed something. So we drove home and are now enjoying this day off. Nathan is watching Busytown Mysteries, eating snacks and coloring. He's a happy guy today. I'm catching up on lots of various things, going to do a little schoolwork, maybe some scrapbooking. Life is good.

Santa

We took Nathan to see Santa on Friday night. There was no line so he was able to chat with him for a few minutes. We told him he could tell Santa three things that he wanted, so he told him he wanted a Car Muncher (Hot Wheels), a Snuggie and a Nintendo DS. Santa asked him, "Have you been thinking about what you want to get your mom for Christmas because Christmas is about giving." It was so neat. Then he asked Nathan if he could leave some cookies and milk out for him. Of course Nathan said yes. Then Santa said, "Chocolate chip." Nathan said, "Okay." It was the cutest thing to watch.
