Dear Austin!

Oh things are crazy around here. Everyone is going a mile a minute trying to keep up with school work, work, practices, etc. Sierra had her dance recital on Friday night. She did a good job and had lots of fun. Kyle and Logan worked literally all day at the hotel. The hotel was so full and everyone was checking out except for 2 rooms. I'll bet you don't miss that. They even had Kyle stay and help tear down the rooms with Logan.

Dad, Sierra and I went to Sandy and then Provo to try and get some shopping done. The traffic was crazy I thought Dad was going to for sure leave there with Road Rage. We had dinner with Donald and Amy and that was fun. Erin is coming home this week. Things got really bad out there and so she is coming home for good.

I am exhausted thinking about trying to keep up with my 3rd graders this week. They are going to be so excited about Christmas break that I hope we can do some learning this week. I have just spent the last 2 hours trying to plan fun but beneficial activities for them to do. So hopefully the week wont drag on to long.

Dad spoke in the 8th ward today and we went to support him. He did a great job. He spoke on the Beattitudes and how they relate to the 1st 2 great Commandments (to Love God and then to love your neighbor). It was a great talk.

I will be sending your Christmas package this week I am just finishing up the final touches. It is so hard to know just what to get you for Christmas this year. We don't want to send you anything 2 big that you have to pack. Anyway - we want you to know we love you and are so excited to hear all about your week and all the wonderful lessons you have learned. I hope you are keeping a journal of all that the spirit is teaching you. 

We went to tithing settlement tonight and we told the Bishop you were a full-tithe payer, just FYI.

Well it is getting late - just wanted to send you a quick letter to let you know I think about you all the time and hope that all is going well for you. Sure do love you and we are so proud of you.

Hope you have a good week!

Hugs and Kisses!

Mom
