An Apostle, A Clean House, A Christmas Party and a Sprained Ankle

Well the title describes our weekend! We had stake conference so our weekend really started Thursday night as Kelly and I were able to attend the Oakland Temple with about 300 others from our stake it was really wonderful. Then Friday night we went to Kelly's Christmas Party it was really fun this year and dinner was great, Kelly's boss really loves Kelly like a son and thinks the world of him which is nice! Saturday we spent cleaning house and getting ready for the holidays which since we had a powerful wind storm and cold front through here that was good. Even Bridget and Quinn cleaned their rooms, have to make room for Santa! Then Saturday night Kelly and I attended Stake conference and met Elder L. Tom Perry which was really wonderful. Then Sunday morning we went to conference (I got there 2.5 hours early for the soft seats!Kelly and the kids came about 45 minutes before!) The building was standing room only... But it was all worth it to hear from one of the Lord's chosen. Our Bishop was called to the Stake Presidency so we will be having a new Bishop soon too, oh well change never hurt anyone. Then Sunday night we had friends who will be moving soon after the holidays back to Provo over, he served his mission in Germany so Kelly and I made dumplings and Rouladen and Bratwurst, it was a perfect day UNTIL Quinn went into Bridget's room with the other kids tripped on Barbies stable and fell on Bridget's Ankle which is sprained with a strained ligament, who is on crutches for at least one week................ Oh well she has Quinn as a slave for the week... Happy days of Christmas.
