What a wonderful holiday! It's always so fun to gather with you lovely people and I never get tired of it. The food, the visits, music, sledding, playing, talking with Hermana Belliston, it was all so terrific! We are looking forward to this week as getting ourselves put back together. The kiddos are still on break from their classes and lessons so I'm in full project mode while not being pulled in a million different directions. I got the playroom painted over the weekend and the best part of it was that it didn't cost anything and it only took a day and a half! I love a good project like that. Emerson's bedroom is next on the list for this week. The hallway might follow, depending on my ambition. I've also been looking at getting some "new" old doors with a little more charm for the bedrooms and bathroom. The list is ever growing!
I was excited when I started thinking about New Years and realized that next New Years we'll get to open our Belliston Time Capsule from 20 years ago! I hope you still have that mom! Thinking about new year predictions, this is what we talked about over dinner tonight.
Garrett- 25 new temples announced. Thomas will be the lead role in a play. Belliston family will go on a church history trip (Nauvoo). Nilssons will have 14 donkeys.
Ruth- Changes in the temple system. Grandma and Grandpa will serve a local mission. Victoria will announce pregnancy. Ian will be a lead role in a play. All grown girls will go to Arizona for baby shower. Nilssons will sell first donkey pair. Joe and Lori will announce another baby. Nilssons will make $500 in watermelon profit. New missions will be opened.
Addy- Harts will purchase 3 new rentals. Grace will have a growth spurt. T & T will move back to Utah. Harts will get a dog. Mannings will all stay healthy for two consecutive months. All Nilsson's baby donkeys will survive. Joe will find a recording studio rental space. Eight year olds will do something important in the church other than being baptized. (In 2020, Emma will get married. Just looking ahead!)
Emerson- T & T will move to Idaho Falls.
Eliza- Harts will move to Italy.
We are looking forward to the new 2019 year! Can't wait to see all of you again!
Wow! You guys have really been thinking about what may happen! I think you are like Dad, Ruthie. Not really predictions, but hopes or wishful thinking. I definitely think we should go to Arizona for a baby shower! Let's get busy planning that soon!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I do know where the time capsule is. Don't ask about specific books or music, but I know where the time capsule is!
