This morning we woke up to another gorgeous -30 degrees day. It was soooo cold. What we didn't realize also, is that somehow our thermostat had got turned down. So when I woke up, the house was like a fridge. It was down close to the 10 spot. We had all slept in until 9am. I think it was because everyone was so cold that all they wanted to do was stay underneath the blankets. So cold. I got up and got all of the kids ready for church. It was a great day at church (except that Tyson decided he didn't want to stay in nursery, and needed his Mommy. so I stayed in there with him for the first half). After church we went home and made some cookies to bring to Carrie's house. She invited our family over for dinner, along with the Kyles and the Siakaluks. It was yummy beef on a bun, and salad. So good! I brought some trifle and snickerdoodles. It was a fun time. Tons of kids. There were 15 kids in all there. As soon as we got home, Caleb and Meg came over to hang out at our house. They literally pulled up just as we were pulling in the driveway. Grant and Caleb played video games together, and Meg played with my hair doing some curls. After that we played a game. What a nice, fun day!

Oh, and it was McKenna's turn to open the advent calendar, and she chose "Write a letter to Seth". Seth is on a mission right now, so we are sending him a christmas card with some letters from the kids.
