Happy Birthday, Coleson!  I can’t believe you are already 14 years old.  My, oh my!

Michelle and I went to a couple of places this morning.  Our first stop was at Hobby Lobby.  As usual, it took us longer there than we had suspected.  As did our next stop.  It was to deliver a beaded cross to Lorell, Joshua’s girlfriend.  We visited with her family longer than we had expected.  They are a very nice family.

We went back home after that.  There was lots to do before we went to Meredith and Dwaine’s for dinner and an early Christmas.

Joshua, Connor, Bill and I watched the Oregon Ducks play the Oregon State Beavers.  The Ducks won, 48 to 24.  Quack, quack!

At Meredith and Dwaine’s, we had supper of a Mexican soup that Meredith likes to make.  It was really, really good and was especially welcome on a cold night like this one.

After soup and several kinds of pie for dessert, we opened Christmas presents with the Colorado part of the clan.  Connor and Matthew called it “a practice Christmas.”

We will be leaving tomorrow morning.  Connor said it looks strange in their driveway when the MH is gone.  I’m glad we are missed when we’re absent.
