Our Christmas was relatively quiet, too (except, of course, when the grand kids were here. LOVE their kind of noise, though). Elise made it in from Syracuse and Julina from Lafayette. We missed Kirsti who was with Ryan and all his family in Utah. Ryan’s parents were so great to include several Lambson Christmas traditions into their celebrations. Here are some photos from Christmas day.
mmmmmm, Christmas buffet feast
Steve and I had Christmas lunch with Ruth Marshall at Candlelight
The BEST gift I got for Christmas was a camera. Emily, the photographer, spearheaded the whole thing – all the kids contributed money – and I got a Canon Rebel. Wow, it is fun to be taking pictures like I used to with my Minolta film camera
We had our annual visit to historic St. Charles on the Friday before Christmas. Here is a photo from that event.
CIS is back in session. CMU starts on Tuesday. I have a different responsibility in my stake R.S. calling – I am now over weekday meetings so my duties just ratcheted up a few notches. We have been enjoying some unseasonably spring-like weather the past few weeks. Not good for the farmers and my garden but wonderful for doing things. So, Steve and I got some horse manure yesterday in our truck and shoveled it onto our driveway.
Next week, I get to put it all around our garden and flower beds. Goodie. And, we are trying a new bed situation. The full-size bed we have been sleeping in for almost 30 years is now in the garage and we have two twin beds side-by-side in our bedroom. Steve is such a restless sleeping that hopefully, this will improve both our sleep-patterns. We did all the furniture moving yesterday.
The BEST outcome of this project was that we found Steve’s cell phone. When we moved the bed and the bookcase, there is was. After being missing for three months! Finally, later in the afternoon, we went to see Mission Impossible 4 (which was very good, by the way, but certainly NOT a relaxing movie). Busy day.
