Have I told y'all our wild plans for Monday? We've invited a bunch of friends to come over at 9 a.m and go see The Two Towers with us (We'll be going to the showing at 10 which is the first matinee of the day, so it will only cost 3.75 per ticket.). We will then come back to the house and have a wild party (WITH FOOD!) joined by friends that couldn't make it to the movie. So, if you hear screams and wild laughter from this direction on Monday you'll know why.


BonnieJean took her first 2 finals yesterday. Constitutional Law and Basic Life Principles 1. She thinks she did very well. It was awesome to see how God directed her in her studying. Things that she thought for sure would not be in the exam because they were not at all covered in the review questions kept catching her eye and sure enough they were in the exam. Praise the Lord! Mrs. Person's is her proctor and it turned out to be much more involved than what we though when we asked her. It was 2 tests, each 90 minutes long, and she had to be in the room the whole time. So she will go ahead and do the two tests on Saturday (Introduction to Law and Civil Lititgation), but we'll go ahead and find somebody else for the next 3 quarters, though Mrs. Person's made the offer of doing it if we can't find anyone else.


Monday night everyone, except Dad and BonnieJean, went caroling with a bunch of Claremore people and then to the Bowers for the important part (FOOD!). The caroling was fun! I think it was the first time that Joshua, Isaac and Caleb have been caroling. It was just too cold in WA. We had quite a crowd, and all rode on 2 trailers with haybales as benches.


JC has posted pictures from his trip in August! Fun, fun, fun! Seeing them makes me miss him though.


I've been missing my Wilbur friends a lot lately. For undisclosed reasons I was going through old pictures and came across ones of happenings in Wilbur. And then the caroling reminded me of teh 2 years I did that in Wilbur (Gretchen and Barb starting up Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer every other house.). And this past week I was sitting in onto a conversation between some of the kdis my age and was very discouraged at the contents. So I sat there and just wished they were Melissa, Anne, Grady, Chelsa, JC, and Dave.


I almost have Matthew 6 memorized!

Congratulations to the Christopher Sutherland Family!

Michael Peyton arrived December 13th!

I read a good book recently. Men of Iron. I want Samuel to make a movie out of it. Oh, and we bought Let's Roll for Mama's birthday (for mom) and I've read that, too. It's real good, too.

Yesterday was the kid's last day of gymnastics. Naomi is going to keep on with this class, but the boys aren't. Tuesday was Ms. Tammy's birthday, so they brought cupcakes, but she was home with a sick daughter. So they ate the cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday to her over the phone. And they delivered 2 jars of spiced tea for Mrs. Tucker and Ms. Tammy's Christmas presents.

I need to be going now. I haven't even glanced at the RI!
