Christmas Day!!

Christmas morning arrived with a bang or a gust I guess.  We woke up to a lot of snow and wind again.  I called Rachel and asked if they were going to try to get out here.  She said they were just leaving Rigby.  They made it but they said they figured they would be here for the day.  It was bad.  We started opening presents.  Yes that is Kendall in a fuzzy hat and pajamas.  

Dave in his jammie pants.  

Kaden opening a remote controlled helicopter

Brenan got a new suit but it didn't fit so he will have to go pick the one he wants.

The best part of the day was the phone call from Matt.  He was in Huron South Dakota.  He got to pick where to spend Christmas.  He was already close by and loved it when he was in Huron.  He got to see a lot of the people that he knew when he was there.  Two of his converts still live there and are still active.  He is doing good.  He travels from place to place.  He doesn't have a car the missionaries take him to his new areas.  He sleeps on the floor wherever he ends up.  I told him I wouldn't be able to walk if I had to sleep on the floor every night.  He said it would be a good experience.  He called while we were opening presents and then called again in the afternoon.  They were visiting people for most of the day.  The only thing that bummed me out was none of his Christmas presents got to him so he had absolutely nothing.  He didn't seem to care.  The mission home didn't get his stuff to him.  I think he will get it either tomorrow or the next day so he will have a delayed Christmas.  The book I sent two day guaranteed didn't make it so I will be calling the post office tomorrow to see where it ended up.  It was supposed to be there Wednesday.  Sister Cannon had snuck a gift in his suitcase so that was the only present he had.  It was fun talking to him.  The next time will be mothers day and he will be coming home soon after that.  His last Christmas away.  The wind finally slowed down around 4:00.  I think Rachel and Kendall might be able to get home we will have to wait and see.
