Christmas Season Opening Weekend

Del held the Patient's Choice Chicago area party this weekend. Ginny from the office put everything together for the party. We all went to Dave and Busters. Del and I are not the biggest video game fans, but I am always up for a little skee ball. And you can't pull Del away from the free throw basketball games. It is always nice to see people that work for Del, and meet the new comers. I don't get down to the office very much.
 Okay, I pretty much NEVER get down to the office. So it is nice to put a face to a name. Del has some very nice, very generous employees, and associates. They always come up with a great gift for Del. He told everyone that he does not have a party so that he can get a present from them, so next year, they don't need to do so much!
We are overwhelmed with the kindness, and thoughtfulness of the employees, and those that Del works with! Thank you!

A serious race was underway. I was awful at this game! If you could have earned extra points for driving your car off the highway and into the ocean, I would have been golden!

Okay. Now an explanation. The reason the party pictures are lacking is because most of them are just one big blur. I decided to leave my camera at home and just use my.....

Brand new iPhone! Yay!

Apparently, I have joined the land of the living! I finally got a smart phone!

Del surprised me big time on my birthday with a new iPhone, and a MacBook Pro! And I always tell him I hate surprises!

I guess it all depends on what it is!

So anyway, I am must have a very shaky hand, because most the photos I have taken with this thing are blurry. I hope I can improve my iPhone photo skills. Texting however, is oh so much easier!

I went downstairs to check on the kids while they were watching a movie this weekend, and found Georgia wearing this arch support cast that Del is supposed to wear at night.
She told me that her leg was broken, and she limped around the house in this thing for a couple of hours. It is almost as big as she is!
Every little scratch this girl gets is devastating! Let the drama begin!

Oh, and she has taken to calling me, and everyone else "dude." Lovely. When I give her an instruction, I get a grouchy two syllable "DU-ude!"
Four and a half is certainly bringing out the sass is this gal!

We filled in our extra time with attending a baptism, taking care of achey tummies, and enjoying the Christmas Devotional broadcast from our church leaders on Sunday night.

It was so nice. If you would like to listen to it, and see the video they showed portraying the early life of Christ. Please visit

www.lds.org, here

It is at the top of the home page with a link to watch or listen to both the devotional, and the Bible story video shown during the broadcast.

It is worth the time, I promise!
