We babysat Sean’s kids. And we had our ward party! We did some activities and crafts and had a nice dinner. Then a program – Benji got to be Joseph Smith! and then Bishop was sick so Ben got to speak to the ward with an uplifting Christmas message and testimony. He does a good job on the fly like that!
This month went too fast. Packer is ALWAYS at wrestling. Benji is loving his senior year and all of his theater friends.
Sneak peak at our Christmas Card:
or just games and pie 🙂 Sean and Jana and Shannon came to play. We stopped by Joel and Megans – they really are moving :(. And the kids enjoyed the BIG tv upstairs!
Grandma Nettesheim passed away on Saturday November 26th. We were not surprised but it’s still hard to let them go and know that you will never see them again. Grandma was very candid and giving and kind. I hope we all get a piece of her to carry forward and pass down in this life.
This is one of our favorite days of the year. The day after thanksgiving: We get our Christmas tree and decorate the house and watch all of the Christmas movies and sleep out by the tree!! The kids and Ben are very territorial about this day! It is special and tradition and one of the best of the year!
Ben made 2 turkeys! We watched part of the parade in honor Grandma Lucille Robertson. We played soccer at Manila with the Nettys and had a delicious charcuterie board!
And then we had all the Netty’s over for DINNER! and Thankfulness. I am so thankful for my kids and Ben and for such awesome in-laws and nieces and nephews. We always have a party and feel so blessed.
Benji and Aliya!
Some kids were jealous that they didn’t get to hold the puppies!
