Christmas Gifts

Well we got a lot this year. I got a new fluffy robe! I love it, its so warm and soft. Brian got a gift certificate for window tinting...I think he loved it. Its actually very hard to tell with him. :) Breana got a remote control car, a robe and pillow pet. Bethanie got a barbie house, a robe and a pillow pet and Juliet got an easy bake oven (which I may say is NOT so easy), a robe and a pillow pet (oh and a two foot porcelain doll....but that's another story)....course they got tons more stuff but I"m naming the main things they liked the most.

We went to my parents house for Christmas dinner...it was fantastic. I made truffles and pie and we opened some more gifts. I got some water glasses. YES and Brian got a little knife set from my little brother.....it was great.

But I have to say one of the greatest gift we got was last night. We attended the dedication to the brand new LDS building that was built in Sun Valley. It is literally down the street from us...I mean walking distance down the street and it is the nicest building in Sun Valley. It is beautiful!!! The talks were great, the music lovely and the dedication prayer wonderful. The building smelt new and you could feel the spirit walking the halls. We start going to that building starting next week.

President Johnson told the story of how they originally thought there should be a new church built in Spanish Springs because that is where people were moving but that is not what the Lord had in mind. So with a failing economy, barely a branch let a lone a whole ward to accommodate a church and land issues to be over come....a miracle was had and we have a brand new church to fill up.

Best quote from last nights talks. "if you build it they will come"! don't you love it!?! Its true...the building is soooo pretty its already attracting people to come in and see what we are all about.
