December 2022!

 So, I was thinking that I should probably get my December post done before January is over. I'm sure you know how it goes...blah, blah blah.

I will hit the highlights...

One of our Nashville missionaries, Elder Farnsworth, came home and he lives in Queen Creek so we got to go to his homecoming.

Elder Lundgreen was there too! Just like old times.

I had a fun outing with two of the neighborhood girls, one of which moved away years ago. We had lunch and did some painting at As You Wish.

I present Agnes and Malia all grown up, AGH!.

We went up to Prescott a few days before Christmas to celebrate with Ashley, Jason, Emma and James. Talk about growing up! We had so much fun playing!

Time with grandkids is the best! EVER!

We had a great Christmas Eve dinner with Cori and Jordan and then Kevin and his family came down for the week between Christmas and New Year's. We had a blast, as usual. A couple of highlights were the Great British Bake-off and Pickleball!

We had a great time coming up with masterpieces from a cookie dough base...and we worked so well together in the kitchen!

Voila! But which one goes with which baker???

We are awesome, totally could have been on TV.

Cori and Jordan were nice enough to take on the assignment of tasting and judging every single one of them...it was a tough job! 

Pickle ball was also a highlight that week. Scott and I hadn't played since being home from our mission and it was a great day for it, not too hot and not too cold! I almost got through my 3rd game when I went SPLAT and got to spend some quality time in the ER. Other than being painful, I was fine and I get to add another story to my repertoire of "old lady fumbles" which is awesome!!

Next thing we knew, 2023 was here and we're so excited! I have a good feeling about this year! God is so good and we're looking forward to the adventures ahead. A good deal of my 2023 will be spent with the Young Women in our ward. I have been called to the presidency and am working with the younger girls and they are AMAZING!!! We have so many fun things planned for this year. Scott and I have also been called as temple workers and will start January 28. That was always the highlight of our week when we worked there before our mission and we are so excited to get started again.

We love you! We are safe and grateful and happy.
