The picture below requires a little explanation. Today we had a bunch of our Swedish friends over for a little Christmas sing-along,
donuts and hot chocolate (yes, as if all that candy we've made recently wasn't enough, Laura did make 80 donuts and a vat of hot
chocolate today... I'm trying to stay on my diet, but it's not working very well :) At any rate, after we sang some American Christmas
songs, the Swedes told us about the tradition of dancing through the house in a line singing "Nu är det jul igen" (Christmas is here
again), and to prove that they really did it, we got up and did it. This was the only semi-decent pic I got of the event, but we danced
upstairs and down, singing gaily all the while. There's a senior couple serving in our ward (congregation) that are fun to have over,
because that way Audrey and Chester get a little grandparent experience. Elder Lewis is reading the Happy Hockey Family to
Audrey. I love that book. The last pic is my friend Christofer playing the guitar. My batteries had died on my flash by that point, so I
decided that the graininess would look better in black and white.
