Back to Sweaters! Yes!

Hello Family. So we missed the last two Monday blogs, but this Monday we are on the ball. Cristy is in the kitchen cooking some pizzas for the missionaries and I am out here uploading pictures to the blog. After supper (some Chinese stir-fry that Cristy pretends tastes good so I will keep cooking it) we will officially begin our FHE, which will be two conference talks (the lesson) plus the second movie in the Work and the Glory series. I have already seen it and Cristy has already read the book, but we are watching it again because my father has taken an interest in the series recently (we got him book one for his birthday two weeks ago and he already finished it!).
Now the switch, Nathaniel cooks and Cristy blogs. I had a wonderful birthday! Thank you to my whole family who called to wish me well (actually most of you called me old, but that is what family is for! :) Mom your comments were touching to say the least. I loved growing up with you as my mom! Nathaniel hid all my presents and we played "hot and cold" to find them. He planned a dinner with my old roommate and Tim and made a YUMMY dessert. My birthday didn't end of Friday... I got breakfast in bed on Saturday and didn't have to do a single dish!
OK, now back to Nathaniel because Cristy is sewing! Aren't we busy! Well it's getting late for us so I think we will try and let the pictures tell the story.

A late picture of Cristy's new haircut with the highlights! (Background Song: Pretty Woman)
