Finals...Shminals...all done!

Yeah we are finally done with all our projects and tests, as well as all the Christmas programs, and choir pieces....Now we get to relax a bit and think about "Christ"mas and family. I say "Christ" mas because we gave our last lesson of the year today on The Spirit of "Christ"mas. It turned out great. I was sick all last night with a cough, itchy throat, and trouble breathing and sleeping, (I think its the post-finals syndrom, or my usual getting sick every Christmas). But I still made it to church and set up all the "cute stuff" for our lesson, the cute nativity that mom sent us, some pictures of Christ, and some prelude music complements of Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The lesson was up to Micah though, since I needed to preserve my voice for singing in the choir right after it. We did both bear our testimonies at the end, I figured I could handle that much. We love our class, and it was really full today, more than we've ever had!

But anyways, no more choir for a couple weeks, and no more classes for a couple weeks...Yeah!

This week we also enjoyed having several fun meals.... One was a sushi night! We made our own sushi wraps and lettuce wraps...It's a decent one timer, but we wouldn't make it a regular thing.

On Friday night we had fun at Jaden's Curious George Birthday Party. Jaden is 4! Yeah for him!
I had alot of fun picking out a book and some fun gifts to go with it. I got him the Curious George Dinosaur Discovery book, and to go with it was dinosaur undies, a dinosaur shirt, and little dinosaurs toys. The shirt looks super cute on him! ANd I had alot of fun making wrapping paper out of tissue paper and construction paper. He probably didn't appreciate the cute dino-looking wrapping as much as I did, but I had fun with it. Here's some pics...

Christmas is almost here, and we are so excited for Christmas Eve with Micah's family, and arriving in Oklahoma on Christmas Day to see my family, and little Owen especially. We will miss Mike and Carrie and Nickleman. But sounds like they seeing all sorts of cool things and places....EGYPT?!?! Golly geez, thats awesome. Well maybe some day we'll make it outside of Utah and somewhere besides Oklahoma , Colorado, and Texas, to see cool things... hehe :)

As for now, having almost everyone together for Christmas in Oklahoma is gonna be awesome...Can't Wait! Welp, we are gonna make some cookies for some people in the ward and at work, so till next time...
