Christmas 2007

We had a great time for Christmas vacation and all, except that it has hardly gotten above 30 degrees since the middle of December and every Saturday since we returned from the river has been rainy or snowy.
Laney has been sick with Strep Throat and stayed home from school a couple of days. She was especially disappointed to miss the pyjama party the Friday before Christmas. She is much better now.
Lenore's mom has an electronic organ in her home along with a concert grand piano. The organ is a the same dual manual version they put in the LDS meetinghouses.
On Christmas Eve, she fired it up and had Leslie accompany her on the piano while 20 voices or so sang Christmas Carols for more than an hour. We really had a great time and probably entertained the neighbors as well.
We had a similar enjoyable time at Kristin and Stuart's on Christmas Eve with grandparents. Thanks Krissy and Stuart for your hospitality and for the nice Christmas Spirit.
I fixed the Turkey on both Christmas and New Years and received "10 compliments." (Smith family joke.)
We went to see "I am Legend" along with 50 million other people on its opening night. The kids really enjoyed it and Lenore and I feel it was really well done. But, it's not our kind of movie, had us on the verge of a heart attack all night long.
Yesterday we watched "Music and Lyrics" with the family and it was well worth it. We were all quite pleased with how cute it was.
I'm sorry the Christmas letter hasn't gone out yet. I am working on it.
