funny story

We have been talking a lot in our scripture study lately about the different name for Jesus Christ. So, the other night we read a scripture that talked about the Messiah. We asked Alice who the Messiah was. She thought for awhile about it and then said, "Simon."

We had a good laugh!

Lois

Dentist

Guess who I saw at the dentist

Monday

We went to the Riverwoods for FHE tonight to see the lights (a thousand times better than Temple Square and much, much closer).  We figured Maren would not want to get near Santa, but when she found out it was the only way to get a candy cane, she got right in line. Apparently she wants him to bring her a Barbie.  This was news to us!  Men's Chorus was singing there tonight too, and for some reason they brought llamas with them.  Are llamas festive?  I don't know, but it was definitely funny.

Ms. Alice J. Rygg Esq. aka the Cookie Monster

We announced to Alice and Lillian that we would be making cookies for FHE tonight. Alice really need to qualify what this evening's activities entailed. Alice exclaimed "We're making cookies?!" Yes, we are making cookies. After moment of thought, she asked, "Yay! . . . But do we get to eat them?" Apparently making cookies in the Rygg house does not mean getting to eat said cookies.

update from the Ryggs.

Viola got her second tooth!!

All my kids slept through the night last night!! And slept in until 7:30!!!

Jon is done with his first semester of classes!!

Jon goes to a new school! Only sort of. Some guy donated a huge amount to money to Jon's law school, so they renamed the school after him. So, now Jon goes to IU Mckinny! This is a really great thing for the school, and we are excited about what it mean for Jon's education!! Of course it had to happen right after Becky bought us our shirts!! (actually all our shirts just said IU, so they still work.) Thanks again Becky!!

Alice has 6 more days of school!!

We are extremely excited to go to Texas for Christmas!

oh Lillian

Lillian continues to be very busy. I found her in the refrigerator eating the cool whip yesterday.

opposite day!

To prove it is opposite day, Alice's hair is curly and Lillian's is straight!! I told Alice she looks like T. Swift. Yes, that is Lillian's hair after straightening.

His cute Thanksgiving outfit from Grandma

Both Avery and Sarah had to put the star on top of the Christmas tree!

Sunday

 We're storing nuts for the winter in E's cheeks.

A certain 3-year-old put all the ornaments on a couple branches.  And this morning half of them are strewn about the living room.  It sort of ruins Christmas to have us constantly telling her to stop, don't touch that, put it back, don't break that ornament! so I'm seriously considering packing them up and just having a lit tree. Would that be too Scroogey? Our poor nativity has also already lost several legs, tails, and hands since we got it out yesterday.  She works fast! (Thanks to Tamela for finding the tree skirt!  It's actually a round table cloth folded in half, and it works great.)
