Christmas Morning! December 25, 2008

Christmas morning was a lot of fun. Joshua was hopeful that Santa Clause would know for sure that he was in Romania. Some of the older boys on his bus had told him that Santa Clause was not real, and Joshua told them that wasn't true. When Joshua came downstairs on Christmas morning, he found a big pile of wrapped presents waiting for him under the tree. His first words were, "Tahdas (16 year old from Lithuania who rides Joshua's bus) was wrong. Look at this!" It is sure great to have so many brothers, sisters, and grandparents in our family who love and miss Joshua!

Joshua is glad to see that Santa Clause found him!

The assistants and office elders surprised President Lundberg with breakfast on Christmas morning. Not only was that a very kind thing to do, but they had been given permission to sleep in until 8:00 that morning. However, at 8:00 am, they arrived with an amazing meal!

Moms of Elder Davis, Elder Roundy, Elder Stromberg, and Elder Thompson---you should be proud of what good cooks yours sons are. I was amazed. They had homemade orange rolls, eggs, hashbrowns, big fluffy pancakes, homemade maple syrup, juice, and a fruit dish that could go on the pancakes. I was impressed---as was President Lundberg!! And they brought so much, we were able to eat it for a few days!

Josh, I'm so glad you still believe! That Ferris Wheel looks great. I'm glad you got it put together so fast. We missed having you all here with us, but it looks like you had a great day there with the missionaries! Dad, how are the Jelly Beans holding up? Do you need more?
