More precious than... silver or gold!

Today we went to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets as a family. Bret and Laura couldn't be with us (they're in Utah), but we had everyone else, including Ty. It was his first movie. He slept during most of it, then roused, drank 4 ounces and finished the rest of the movie on my shoulder covered with a blanket. He started stirring when the ending credits started rolling and the house lights went up. As Carynn was putting him back into his carrier a lady was just leaving the row behind us. She said, "What a good baby. We had no idea that he was here." She also said something like, "God bless this child." We smiled and then she was gone and we left the theatre.

Jamie, Carynn and Ty had a few errands to do and then they came up to have Christmas Eve dinner with us. Lynette asked to be the chef. Melinda set the table. Michael did pre-dinner clean up. I was called when dinner was on the table; what a wonderful gift! C, J & T arrived just then (perfect timing) and we enjoyed our dinner. We're going to play some games, maybe watch a video or two, read the Christmas Story from the scriptures and then it'll be almost Christmas.

More precious than silver or gold are the blessings (gifts) we enjoy: our lives, our Savior, the gospel of Jesus Christ and especially our family!

More Later,

NS
