Christmas Preparations

Day 358- Dec 23rd: I got home from work today and had a box from Britni, my older sister. Obviously it was Christmas presents, so I opened the box to put them under the tree. Well.....they weren't wrapped, so we got some early presents. This Monopoly has a Buzz Lightyear playing piece, which is awesome! And she got Russell a Root Beer Float candle. Hopefully smelling it won't cause any Root Beer Float emergency's, those are dangerous! We did put them under the tree though, and we'll pretend to be surprised again on Christmas.

Day 357- Dec 22nd: Today we wrapped up some cookies in these little packages to take to some of our neighbors and friends. We only got Keera's delivered today because it was snowing, snowing, snowing hard all day. We managed to get to Keera's though and bring them their cookies and Jaxson his transformer and balloon for his birthday. He got tons of transformers for his birthday, he showed them all to us!

Day 356-Dec 21st: Today we taught our first lesson of Temple Prep. It went pretty well, although we ran out of time so we didn't get to discuss the questions at the end, which is where I had things to say! Haha. Russell did a great job though. The lesson was outlining the Plan of Salvation and there were tons of scriptures to read. We each took turns reading, but a problem we ran into was the brother of the couple we are teaching is legally blind, so we need to think of a better way to involve him in the lessons with something other than reading.

Russell got this free game for his computer today called Enigmo 2. It's like a game I used to play in elementary or middle school where you have to make machines and get things to a certain point. This one has water, lazers, and magnetic fields. We played it for about 2 hours. We got through the first few levels pretty quick, but now each level takes us 20-30 minutes. It's quite a thinking game!
