Sunday Jan 10, 2010

Today was a great day! First we had Brenna's confirmation and testimony at church which were both amazing. It has been such a renewal of our own faith and testimony to go through the process of baptism and confirmation with her. Ally is starting her CTR 6 class and Ansley had her first day in Primary as a sunbeam. Not only was it her first day in Primary, she also gave the opening prayer. Being that she is so shy I wasn't expecting much but she marched right up to the microphone and quietly said, "Heavenly Father thank you for this day. Thank you for the Primary. Thank you for the teachers. In Jesus' name. Amen." It was super cute and I was so proud of her. It was also ward conference so we were able to meet with the stake leaders which is always nice. Jerry and I both got to renew our temple recommends. This too is always great to me. Knowing I am worthy to go into the temple and enjoy its blessings is an amazing feeling. Andy came to church with us and said he enjoyed it. He meet with some of the stake leaders after church and even stayed for the linger longer without us. He said he had a good time. After church we came home and snacked and napped. At five o'clock we had a huge dinner. Jerry and are calling it the last big supper because after Andy leaves tomorrow morning it's the big diet for us. Brenna came over and also my friend Lucinda and her husband who I swear I see just as little as when I lived 1000 miles away! We definitely need to work on that! We feasted on ham, sweet potatoes souffle, green been casserole, mac and cheese and rolls. The kids played, well Ansley and Julian played. Ally tried to stay with the adults as she usually unsuccessfully does. I can't seem to make her understand that being a kid is more fun and she should enjoy it while she can! Julian and Ansley had a great time though. They ended the night with Ansley giving Julian a kiss on the cheek which was adorable. She was quite embarrassed though. Julian loved the Thomas Train around our Christmas tree. It was so cute to see how excited he would get each time the train would come around the track. And yes the tree is still up. I haven't had any free time since getting home but it is definitely on the agenda for this week. I love Sundays but this one really was especially nice! Too bad the next day is Monday and that means WORK!
