LeGrande had his Priesthood preview this last Sunday. I can't believe my baby boy is going to be a deacon soon (okay...eleven months..but that IS soon). Brother Laing asked me to speak about how we can prepare the young men to receive the priesthood. Luckily I only had to speak for about 5 minutes, but I was grateful for the opportunity. I realized how many things I need to be doing as his parent to help him. LeGrande also was asked to say the opening prayer. All day long I could tell that he was stressing about it, but he did a great job. He is such a good boy. Grandma and Grandpa Wood came to the meeting and came over after for some Angel Chicken Pasta YUM! All in all, it was a very special day.
Today the first real snowstorm hit. It is STILL snowing. I feel guilty for saying this because I know several people who have been in car accidents because of it, but I LOVE IT! I think I love it because I know I can stay inside with my kids and bake cookies and just hang out and be cozy. The kids went outside for like 3 hours and played in the snow. LeGrande made a snow fort and then all three went to the front yard and made a snowman. Later on, I hear a cry from Emma as she looks out the front door and sees that her snowman she made is was lopsided. Quite the sight. Kind of defies the laws of gravity. It was just a fun day all in all and I loved hanging out with the kids for most of it.
