Christmas morning, excitement was abounding! Probably not for the reason you would think. We were all so excited to hear from our two missionaries! That definitely was the highlight of the day.
Santa brought lots of wonderful toys, and clothing for Ben and Lizzy. Toys are definitely more exciting to give than clothes and shoes. Ben's favorites were his John Stockton jersey and Red Rider B B Gun (hope he doesn't shoot his eye out). Lizzy's favorite was her boots.
Santa must have been a little distracted when he left a candy cane full of Reese Peanut Butter Cups, and miniature snicker bars for Lizzy. I thought he knew she was allergic to peanuts! Oh, dear Santa!
It's every boys dream, and even fun for the older kids and their mom:). It can become a little addicting.
Brunch was served at a fairly fast pace. We were all anticipating our calls/skye with the missionaries. We called Sister Brown first, and what a fun time that was. It was hard to understand her due to her new found Bislama language. She is hilarious! She loves Tanna, wants to stay there her whole mission, and extend her mission until February 2015. She absolutely loves the people there. I asked her about some clothing I had seen her wear in a photo that didn't look familiar. She told me nothing belongs to anyone, whatever you want you take (with permission I hope). She is the happiest she has ever been (direct quote from her).
Thanks to modern technology we were able to Skpe with Elder Brown. We all gathered around the computer, talking, laughing, and trying to find out as much as we could about his time in Alaska. The kids (not me) may have shown him the last second of the Auburn verses Alabama football game. He is so happy, loves his companion, and loves serving the people of Bethel.
