So the rest of December was full of more fun. The Techmeyer Annual was great--dodgeball, good food, good company, Jemmett cousins, teams, spaghetti and marshmallow buildings, year in review slide show (thanks Michael), presents, visiting, and fun. Thanks Sarah & Neil for all the planning.Cousin, Naya, and her family came into town for the holidays. Naya was baptized, and it was a special day.
Anna and her Aunt Suzy decided at the beginning of 2008 that they wanted to grow their hair out so they could donate it. They both look fabulous in their new haircuts.
We experienced a first in our family: we didn't have plans on Christmas Eve. We enjoyed a relaxing evening, watched a movie, and then took a long while to fall asleep. Christmas morning we spent at home and then enjoyed the afternoon and evening with the Wrights. The following day we went sledding on lots of new snow. Great times!
My baby brother, James, was home for Christmas (he's stationed in Monterrey, CA in the Air Force learning Chinese). We went sledding together, and he taught us how to play Zachary's newest game, Settlers of Catan, which was very fun!
As we reflect on 2008, we do so with gratitude for good people in our lives, for a loving and supportive extended family, and for the blessings we enjoy as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
