Christmas

The week started busy as we prepared for Christmas. Deb and the girls were out of school so they helped get the house ready for Christmas. We also did some shopping with Deb doing a lot on Monday to get us ready.

On Wednesday, Lilli had a doctor's appointment so the family met me in Pocatello. Lilli went to her doctor's appointment afterwards we went to Coldstone Creamery to get Lilli's birthday ice cream. Then it was home for me until after the new year.

Christmas Eve was wonderful. We had Mom and Todd for dinner. We served prime rib, shrimp, baked potatoes, green salad, corn, and chocolate dessert. Even though I cooked most of it, I must say that it was really good.

Christmas was wonderful. We opened presents, had our usual Eggs Benedict breakfast, snacked all day, and had ham and Funeral Potatoes for supper. Brayden had some fireworks he was going to set off in Swan Lake so we went there. Afterwards, we went to Mom's and visited with her and Todd.

We celebrated Lilli's 14th birthday. We had mashed potatoes and shrimp for dinner.

BYU literally destroyed Central Florida in the Boca Raton Bowl, 49-23. It was not even that close. It was so great watching BYU cruise to a bowl win. It does not happen often. The football team finished with an 11-1 record. It felt like BYU of old!

BYU basketball also beat Texas Southern, 87-71, and Weber State, 87-79. BYU's record is 9-2 and will now begin play in the West Coast Conference.
