Well, the settling in was tough but we finally made it. It was really hard to get used to all the “Stuff” there is here.
We had a great Thanksgiving with family.
Then we survived our homecoming talks at church and had a great get together after.
Then we had Tyson’s Birthday Party. He has really grown while we were gone.
But Taylor is the one that has grown the most.
We tried to get ready for Christmas. We had a hard time getting into the spirit. Our daughter invited us to a show at the Civic Auditorium put on by the Playmill Theatre. They presented Irving Berlin’s White Christmas.
That put us in the Christmas spirit. So we did some decorating and it seemed more like Christmas.
And we are back working in the Temple. That really felt like coming home.
Then Christmas was upon us and we were running around like everyone else trying to get all the gifts for everyone and delivering goodies to all our friends and neighbors. Sometimes we wished we were back in Arusha with the simple life. But the family Christmas party was really fun.
We realized how much we missed that while we were gone.
Then our traditional New Year’s Eve Party with the dinner club.
Another thing we have really missed. But as usual the last few years, none of us made it to midnight.
