Brett gave a merit badge workshop for a group of boy scouts in the area there. He taught the Sustainability badge - a very extensive one. The workshop was over 5 hours long, and the boys must have completed requirements beforehand, and will have to work with their families on more requirements over the next month too. Despite the long workshop and many more hours of work required, the boys were attentive and participated enthusiastically.
We had several animals with us for Christmas too. They were fun to have around, though my allergies were crazy.
Most of the time we watched television and played games.
The games on Christmas Eve were the highlight of the week for us.

As a family we all went and did temple work at the Kansas City temple one night with their ward. The next day as we headed home Brett and I went and did more temple work together. Although we did the same work both days we got to experience new things each time that (I have a feeling) don't happen very often. It is such a blessing to be able to live near a temple. From Joplin it takes almost 3 hours to get to the nearest temple in Kansas City, so we were very excited to be able to attend twice this week.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
....Meanwhile....
*sigh*
We are so excited to move out of this apartment..... someday.
Yeah, that's stove hood.
