Sweet and simple.
James left early this morning to take the youth to the temple. I made breakfast for Carmen, Rebecca, and Dawn. We had scrambled eggs, biscuits with jalapeno jelly, and bacon. Rebecca said the jalapeno jelly was the best she has ever tasted. I told her I would be sure and let Kathy Crane know how much she enjoyed it.
Carmen, Rebecca, and Dawn go with me to help clean the church. The other family who is supposed to help is out of town, and with James gone I would have been by myself. Before we could leave we had to get the snow off the truck. Of course James took my car to the temple.

Besides cleaning the inside of the building, we even had to shovel the snow off the walks. There was alot of it, especially on the north side of the building. Afterwards the girls built a snowman.
He even has a necktie for church.

I so appreciate Carmen, Rebecca, and Dawn. They were so fun and such a great help. I said my goodbye's and told the to drive safely back to the valley. It will be awhile before we see Carmen again.
James returned as we were finishing. He stayed at the church and prepared a drawing on the chalkboard for his Sunday School class tomorrow.
He said when Trenda found out I was cleaning the church she offered to come down and help, but he told her his sisters were helping so she wouldn't need too. It was nice to know she was willing. We might need her in the future.
Back at the cabin Kim and I played a round of Five Crowns. She beat me. Kim also worked on her new Disney puzzle. It's a hard one and she might not finish before she has to go home.
When James got home he and Brian made us some elk steak and gravy. Brian helped because he wants to learn how to do it himself. It was delicious!
We spent a relaxing Saturday afternoon. I colored in my coloring book, Kim worked on her puzzle, Brian watched TV, and James worked on his Sunday School lesson.
Kim and Brian also went for a walk in the snow. Kim got a Fitbit for Christmas and she wants to get her 10,000 steps in.
Kim made nachos for dinner. They were delicious. Since she made dinner, I did the dishes.
James had a great time using the knife sharpener I got him for Christmas. I think he sharpened every knife in the house!
Brian watched the Cardinals beat Green Bay, making the Cardinals the NFC champs of our division. The NFC championship game will be against the Carolina Panthers next week.
We watched a new Hallmark movie called: "Love From the Sidelines." We all liked it.
Back in Chandler Joshua made up a fun game that he played with Stacy and Paul. One of the things Stacy had to do was wear a diaper on her head.
