Maybe I have it right this time. So, Stefanie sent us a box of chocolate that she and Jason got in Germany. It took about two weeks to come and I had just about decided it was lost when it came. She sent a variety of kinds - one bar had chili peppers in it, one was milk chocolate, one was milk chocolate with a dark chocolate filling. Brad and Taryn enjoyed the straws which made milk either strawberry or chocolate. The hearts were yummy milk chocolate. We had a lot of fun tasting the different kinds. Thanks, Stef and Jason for the treat and the very fun experience!

Snowwwwwwwwww

Alright, so its up on Pinevalley Mountain and not in our back yard, it is still very cool to see and very beautiful. Its been really cold here. We have ice on the windshields every morning. This is a real adjustment for us so cal transplants. Jon and Caitlin had NEVER seen frost or ice like this before. I forget that they were really little when we lived in Pennsylvania. Coats are a must in the mornings and at night but layered shirts or a sweater make do during the day.

We had a wonderful birthday/anniversary visit with Grandma and Grandpa and the Lambert children. We all enjoyed cake and ice cream as well as Jolie's funny antics.

Roxy recently had to go to the vet. It seems she had a case of "swimmers ear". Hmmm not quite sure how that happened. She hates water. He said the infection was pretty bad and that her eardrum was VERY inflamed but he thought the antibiotic should kick in before it perforates. I sure hope so. He gave her a shot that night and she gets ear drops now morning and night.

I have been keeping James missionary profile on his mission website updated and had great fun recently hearing from two of his former companions. Then while working on that, it occurred to me that my own misison might have a website and they did. I have since found two of my old companions and been in touch with them. I love the INTERNET!!!

Extreme Gingerbread House Making!

This is what a six hour gingerbread house project looks like!





Yesterday a friend of mine invited me and a couple of girls in the ward over to make gingerbread houses. I should have known that this was going to be a lot more extensive than the typical gingerbread house. This project took 6 hours in total (we did it in two 3 hour segments) It was a lot of fun to make and good bonding time with some friends. It was sad to be away from Jason and Paisley for most of the day, but fun to have friends that would include me in such a special project! I'm going to go back today and pick it up. I haven't decided if I'm going to let Jason and Paisley pick on the candy or not.
