Frozen

 The temperature yesterday was 68 degrees and this morning it was 17!!! I had to go to a meeting at the church at 7:00 am and Autumn opted to come with me even though I told her she could stay at Papa & Mimi's. We had to stop and get a pic of this frozen water coming out of this pipe to document just how cold it really is!!!

 Autumn was soooooooooooo excited to go to church today, b/c she couldn't wait to see Ashley. She's home from college for the Christmas break and Autumn's joy was just exuding out of her when she saw Ashley again. I got to teach the lesson in Laurels today, and I focused on spiritual gifts. I took a different approach than in years past, and we talked about the lyrics to "The Little Drummer Boy" (minus all the ra pa pa pums). It was a really good discussion.

After church we went to Mom & Dad's house for dinner, then went back to our house b/c our home teachers were coming over. After they left we just stayed home and relaxed and spent time together. Then at 7:00 we went to a BYD where Zack came and shared some of the things he learned on his mission. He did a really great job and the youth were really listening to what he had to say.
