Sunday Night Before Christmas, And All Through the House . . .

It's December 20th, a mere five days before Christmas. What do you do on Sunday before Christmas? While Kami and I settled in for an unintended nap, Ashlynn, Max, and Emma delivered our neighbor gifts. This year Kami created a cute nativity in a frame to share with our neighbors. Emma is always the best at helping deliver the gifts.  This year Ashlynn and Max jumped in to help. Thank goodness, because Kami and I intended to help, but we sat down and closed our eyes . . . and fell asleep. 
2020 Neighbor Gift

The nap didn't last too long. We tried out the Elf board game we got for Christmas last year while snacking on some neighbor gifts (from this year)!
Kami promised to show Ashlynn and Emma how to make caramels. Ashlynn helped out this time and clearly, they had a lot of fun.

While Emma and Max took advantage of the wet show. They shoveled off the back patio and built a snowman complete with his Covid mask and toupee.

Even Snowmen Practice Appropriate Social Behaviors During Covid

Scoobs was especially interested in the snowman. He thought the cherry tomatoes they used for buttons looked very testy and tried to eat them. He also thought he looked intimidating and tried to take him out. We'll see how long the snowman lasts!?

Stranger Things on P-day in Lithia, Georgia

Monday is P-day in the Georgia Atlanta Mission. On Monday, December 21st, it was t-shirt weather and a day to do a little adventuring around Douglasville. Sam, his companion Elder Pike, and the other set of missionaries in the apartment, Elder Hinck and Elder Searle, took in two popular tourist sites close by in Lithia, Georgia.  Tiffany's Kitchen in Lithia, Georgia is used in episodes of Stranger Things Tiffany's turns into Benny's Burgers for the Netflix show Stranger Things Inside Tiffany's Kitchen/Benny's Burgers The menu at Tiffany's Kitchen is apparently not fantastic. The restaurant is better as a set for Stranger Things than it is for good food. P-day adventure at Sweetwater Creek State Park in Lithia, Georgia. Apparently, this is a rock. Sweetwater Creek State Park is known for its popular hiking trails. Sam takes a selfie at Sweetwater Creek.
