Melanie's and Todd's family packages should arrive on Dec. 19.
Kirsten's will be given to her family on Saturday at the wedding in Salt Lake of Jared's brother.
The rest of you can get your presents here on the 24th. They are all ready. If you are not coming to Nephi, let me know post haste so that you will have your gifts on time.
Please do NOT open the boxes from the post office until Christmas Day. My hand is still a pain and is so awkward to use that I did not wrap the gifts. I just stuck them in the postal box. If you wonder why some of you adults have taped together envelopes, it is because Dad forgot to put the money in and we had to cut them open. He was the money-stuffer this year. I can type pretty good in a half hunt-and-peek and a half keyboard style. Never have surgery on your wrist.
Sadness, I just found out that my good friend, Lois Woodcox, is dying of cancer. At Thanksgiving, she felt terrible. She also felt like she had a lump in her stomach. She had not had pain she was just sick, suddenly, and thought she had the flu. She has stage four ovarian cancer and has refused chemo because the cancer is so widespread. She is the mother of Val Creps who was once Julie's Relief Society president in the Nephi 1st Ward. Lois is six-months younger than I am and, since we started working at the temple, has become a special friend.
