Sunday Dec 9th
It's a winterwonderland here in St Cloud.  We woke up to 6 inches of snow & it is still coming down.  Watched people getting stuck as they were leaving church.   Big game today - Vikes vs Bears!

Mom, Colleen, David and Cecelia made Christmas cookies this morning. Below are a few phots.

We slept in a few extra minutes this morning. Mom was up after 9 last night. After breakfast Fr. Allen came to give Mom first Friday communion. After our prayers and blessings (he annoited Mom with oil) we sang Christmas carrols. Mom sang along with him to Jingle Bells and Silent night. Here they are sinign together. When he left he have Mom a kiss--asked her if she was ever kissed by a priest before--we got a good chuckle out of that.  No plns for today and tomorrow but Saturday we will make and bake cookies with Colleen.

Mom had a very long day today. She had a visitior that is in Minnesota for work related. Kevin and Colleen brought Anna (Dale's oldest child) to have a visit with Mom. We had a taco supper and then some visiting with Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. Mom stayed up later then usual and enjoyed the evening a lot.
