first primary talk

Chris had the chance to give his first talk in Primary, the last Sunday in November of 2010.  He did really well – spoke clearly, looked at everyone, and smiled.  We were proud of him.  He even wrote it himself.  It was about service, and what we can do to serve.  He gave a few examples of ways we could serve others, and bore his testimony about service.  I should have taken a picture of him, but I forgot.

He also was able to give a talk while my family was here visiting, which was a lot of fun to be able to have them here for that.  His topic was "The Scriptures teach of Jesus Christ and His Second Coming". I love that he gets the chance to do things like this from the church!

Christmas cookies

One of my goals for 2012 is to spend some time here, on this poor, neglected blog of mine. Please excuse me while I do a bit of catch-up in the midst of the current posts. We had a wonderful Christmas this year. My parents, brother, and sister came to visit (missed you, Jeff!) for Dave's graduation from his Master's program (yay!). Then we had a quiet Christmas break, and a wonderful Christmas day. Somewhere in there, we decorated some cookies. Hope you all had a very merry Christmas!
