Bob: Been a very busy 2 days. We had to do some shopping yesterday that took most of the day. Then we spent some time playing games with Misty's kids. About 8:30 PM we headed to Chris and Suzy's place in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania. That is about an hour and 30 minutes away from Misty's. Got there well after 10. Stayed up talking till too late. Arose late today and went Christmas tree shopping. Found a nice tree about 8 feet tall. Chris took it home while Bonnie, Evie and I finished getting the things we were after. All of us pitched in and we had the tree decorated in about an hour.
This afternoon we went to Suzy's voice recital. She sang 3 songs from 3 different operas. She is quite talented and very good. There were several other individuals on the program and they were from all age groups. All of them did well.
Tonight we attended the Ward Christmas party. It was a nice affair. The menu was Mediterranean style. Not your usual turkey and dressing, but quite good.
It is time to retire as we need to get up at 7 to get ready for Church. Love to all and good night brothers.

Bonnie: Bob has done a good job of updating the blog. The Christmas party was really great. We met some wonderful people. There was music from the Primary, the YW and the Activity Day girls. There was a beautiful live nativity. There was an award for the family in the best-dressed Jewish costumes from the time of Christ, as well as the best cookies for dessert. Just after the closing prayer Santa Claus showed up. There must have been at least 100 people there and everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. A note about the food: it was flavorful chicken in pita bread, couscous, and a red onion, tomato, cucumber salad, plus crackers and hummus. It was followed with a wide variety of cookies for dessert. Everything was delicious. Suzy did a fabulous job as the person in charge of the party!
Have a wonderful Sabbath everyone. Tomorrow is Michael's baptism!
Love, Mom/Bonnie
