Hey Cass! - I really
can't seem to call you Sister St. John - which I guess is weird?
Anyway - I hope this
finds you doing well and staying warm somehow. We saw on the mission Pres. blog
that you had zone conferences and got your Christmas packages?
Dad used my email
address to send you his email - so that means I could read through it. He's
funny. He's got some of the details wrong about when we went to the temple but
it's not really important, so anyway...he gave you a pretty good rundown of our
week so I'll just fill in some of my own stuff.
The lights at David's
were pretty spectacular. I have a few second video of it, but I'm not sure if
you're allowed to watch that if I send it? You'll have to let me know. I'll for
sure send a picture. It was fun to have all the cousins there. I think everyone
that lives in Utah on the Stewart side was there except for Chelsie's family,
they had a neighborhood thing.
The temple was great,
even though I really missed being there with you. Having quite a few
opportunities to go with you before you left was a blessing. Time I will
cherish.
Other things this week
have been the normal hustle and bustle. Colten had his CCRP meeting at the high
school to plan for his senior year and taking of the ATC. Hadlie had an
orthodontist appt. She gets to get her springs off next month. Her jaw has
moved extremely fast. Friday I went to IKEA by myself to get my Christmas
present, which is also sorta a present for you too. I got a full size bed
(mattress) and headboard, footboard. I thought a bigger bed might be good for
guests in there while you're away and for you when you get home. So Merry
Christmas to us. And for your enjoyment you can picture me trying to get all of
those things on a cart and in the car by myself!
Yesterday after the ward
party Hadlie and I went for a straight A day activity. We ate at Chick-fil-a,
got a peppermint shake and went to Mockingjay. I thought it was good and that
will be the last of those movies I see, seeing as I hate how that story ends.
Then after we got home I made donut dough with River and we watched the Giver
(which rhymes btw). I actually thought the movie was really good. They changed
a few things from the book and the ending is better. In a little while we'll be
making the donuts - after the dough rises, etc.
Today at church was
Bishop Kay's son's homecoming AND Rachel Bingham's farewell. They moved her
departure date up to Jan. 7th - so she's outta here...Anyway - the church was
packed. There were literally people standing up in the back because there were
no more chairs. Crazy. The YM had a heck of time prepping, passing the
Sacrament but they did a good job. The bishopric even had all the YW sit up on
the stand to make more room for people. Anyway - they both did a good job
speaking. Mitch Kay seems a lot like his dad.
So Christmas is fast
approaching us. Grandma Stewart decided yesterday that she'll be flying up this
Friday to spend Christmas with Grammy, Papa and the rest of us here. It'll be
good to see her. This is the kid's last week of school before the break. They
get 2 full weeks this year. They're all happy about that.
I think that's the
update for things here. Oh - except I made myself a pretty awesome Christmas
playlist on Spotify. I'll save it so you can listen it to it when you're home.
I'm sure you know we have a million questions for you, but I think I'll wait to
see how your email is this week. Just know any details are much appreciated. Ok
- but here's just a couple ?'s...
*How's your coat? Do you
need to get one?
*How's your stomach?
I love you so much and
hope you're doing well. I can't believe we'll get to talk to you next week! I'd
really like it if we could do that once a month or something?!
Love - Mom
