Moroni 7:35-48

What does it mean to you to have Jesus Christ as your advocate?

GC: "The Doctrine of Christ" by Brian K. Ashton

The prophets have taught that faith begins by hearing the word

of Christ.  The words of Christ testify of His atoning

sacrifice and tell us how we may obtain forgiveness, blessings

and exaltation.

Our friends, the Lamb family.

We had the battle of the pancakes this morning.  James made potato pancakes and I made Bisquick pancakes.  I had strawberries and whipped cream with mine.  Kacey did the dishes while James and I cooked and Jared packed the car and cleaned the ice and snow off the windshield and the top.  

James pulled Emmy and Joshua behind the Razr on a sled.  Joshua came in while Anna and I were working on a puzzle and said: "That was the worst experience of my life.  I hit a tree and hurt my favorite leg, my right one."  It didn't seem like he was really hurt and it was all Anna and I could do to not laugh out loud.

A relaxing time around the table.

Stacy and Michael "horsing" around.

It was actually pretty funny,

especially looking at Michael's face.

Jared and his family left for El Paso around noon.  Anna wants to

get their in time to see some of her friends, especially Joe.

Tomorrow at 6 a.m. they will all leave for San Antonio.

Looks like alot of tired people with their eyes closed.

We will miss this family!

Michael went on a run and Paul rode the Razr beside him and ran out of gas.  James had to go to the rescue.  When Paul got back, Dallin and Sarah took the Razr for a ride.  

We babysat Shipley this afternoon while Stacy and Paul's family went to town to meet his sisters, Trisha and Dorina at Pizza Factory.  Shipley likes us.

This evening James and I watched "The Rooftop Christmas Tree."

It was good and we cried at the end.  We also read from our book "Babylon."
