20 December 2009 - Sterling Heights, Michigan

Dear Family,


Christmas - Festivities are fast approaching and preparations are in high gear. We have been purchasing and returning and wrapping gifts so that our matter will be organized in time for the birthday celebration. We have enjoyed receiving the Christmas cards and letters from friends and family and we sent the last of our cards. Last night the complete tribe of David & Jana arrived safely after traversing an adversely conditioned road. It did not snow much, but it did leave some treacherous slick spots on the road. They saw many vehicles that had spun off I-94 in Michigan. We are so grateful for their safe arrival – “one less worry”.

Seminary – Since, Michael graduated, we had thought we were finished with Seminary routine, but the ward building was being re-carpeted and the Seminary class met at our home each morning this week. It was good to partake of the enthusiasm of the young people and we hope they found our home a house of learning.

Entertainment – Dad, Mom and Michael really enjoyed the new movies “2012” and “Avatar” at AMC 30. We saw Avatar in IMAX and 3D to enhance the experience. Also, we were entertained by Tyler's 7th grade basketball games on Tuesday and Thursday – they are undefeated so far. Additional “entertainment” was supplied by Ryan, who invited Dad and Michael to paint the walls in his basement. Actually, it turned out quite well considering the level of talent we have obtained. Michael, Dad and Jim were also, “entertained” by the Jeep ignition, which decided to not let the key turn to start the engine. (Another thing on the never ending “to do list”.)

We wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Love y'all, Mom & Dad
