UPDATE ON THE PARENTS

WE ARE HERE AT VENITA AND BART'S. THE SHIFT KEY DOES NOT WORK SO WILL JUST USE ALL CAPITALS. SORRY ABOUT THAT. REALLY NOT SHOUTING

WE HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE LAST FRIDAY AND SO ENJOYING THE VISIT AND ESPECIALLY OUR CHRISTMAS TIME TOGETHER. THIS MAY BE A GOOD IDEA FOR US TO DO EACH CHRISTMAS SEASON NOW. SPEND IT WITH ONE OF YOU EACH YEAR. THAT IS IF YOU WILL INVITE US.

DAD HAS MORE TESTS TOMORROW AT THE LDS HOSPITAL. THEY WILL CHECK TO SEE IF THE DEVICE IS WORKING AND THE BLEEDING STOPPED ETC. HE WILL BE UNDER A GENRAL ANESTHETIC BUT SHOULDN'T BE TOO BAD. PLEASE REMEMBER HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS. NOT A NICE WAY TO SPEND YOUR BIRTHDAY BUT HE SAID HE DOESN'T CARE. RIGHT NOW HE AND BART AND ALL THE BOYS ARE AT CABELLO'S CHECKING THAT OUT. VENITA, HEIDI AND I WENT TO LUNCH YESTERDAY WHILE THEY INSTALLED A NEW CABINET IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM FOR A UTILITY SINK. THE LITTLE GIRLS ARE GOING TO THE PLANETARIUM WITH A NEIGHBOR FAMILY AND VENITA AND I WILL DO OUR USUAL NPS TRIP IN ABOUT AN HOUR. HEIDI IS ON HER WAY TO WORK. GABE WENT BACK TO CEDAR YESTERDAY BECAUSE OF WORK AND I THINK SETH WILL BE GOING BACK TODAY OR TOMORROW.

THE WISCOMBE'S HOME IS BEGINNING TO COME TOGETHER AND IS GOING TO BE SO NICE FOR THEM. WE WERE ALL ABLE TO SIT DOWN TO CHRISTMAS DINNER TOGETHER. I THINK WE HAD TWELVE AROUND THE TABLE. VENITA FIXED A WONDERFUL MEAL WHILE THE GRANDPARENTS WATCHED THE POLAR EXPRESS MOVIE WITH THE KIDS. GRANDPA EROLD WAS HERE TOO.

WE WERE SO IMPRESSED WITH THE SACRAMENT MEETING. A WONDERFUL PROGRAM WAS GIVEN. WE COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH MUSICAL TALENT THEY HAVE IN THEIR WARD. I THINK THE ORCHESTRA HAD TWELVE VIOLINS, TWO CELLOS, AND ONE BASS AND A FLUTE. DAD SAID IT SOUNDED WONDERFUL. EVEN I ENJOYED IT. THE CHOIR ALSO HAD A OUTSTANDING DIRECTOR AND THEIR MUSIC WAS DONE SO WELL . IT REALLY WAS A TREAT.

WE HOPE ALL OF YOU HAD A WONDERFUL AND PEACEFUL CHRISTMAS. WE HAVE ENJOYED READING THOSE OF YOU WHO UPDATED YOUR BLOGS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE WILL TRY TO SEE DAN AND FAMILY AND DAVID AND FAMILY WHILE HERE. THEN STOP IN CEDAR ON OUR WAY HOME. WE LOVE YOU ALL AND FEEL BLESSED TO BE YOUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS.
