Happy Birthday Ben!

We didn't see Ben much on his brithday, but we got to watch Lizzie while he and kimball went bowling with his family. I left a birthday Trifle in his fridge for them to enjoy after they were done. We are so grateful to have him in our family!

Hot Cocoa Party

We had the Cocoa bar already set up from Kody's Farewell luncheon, so Hinckley asked if she could invite some friends over for a hot cocoa party. 

Elder Wastlunds Farewell

This was Kody's first time ever speaking in church, and he was nervous but gave an amazing talk about all the times it mentions falling in the scriptures. We will all fall over and over, but falling makes us humble and willing to fall at the Saviors feet, and the Savior is always there to pick us up.  Kimball sang " I Heard Him Come" and Garrett accompanied on the guitar.  Then Ben did a great job filling the rest of the time and gave an analogy about puzzles and how even our one piece is important.  Kody's good friend Colton came up and gave Kody a very tearful hug afterwards.  They will really miss each other. We then went back to the house and had Hawaiian Haystacks, Cocoa and cookies.  It was a really nice day!  

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas morning. I was in tears from the beginning when the kids handed us the stockings they made for us filled with letters from each of them.  We started with a prayer and thoughts on the Savior and then dove in to presents.  We are very blessed!  Later that morning we headed to Pine Valley to celebrate Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Wastlund.  Grandma had Christmas Breakfast and Christmas Dinner!
