Hola, my birthday boy! Wow, can't believe you are 20 years old. Your
teenage years are behind you! Glad you got your birthday package from
the Glassetts last week, did you already open it? Or are you waiting
until Tuesday? I will be thinking of you even more than usual this week,
and remembering the day 20 years ago when I first met my sweet baby
boy.
So how was your New Year's Eve? How do they celebrate in Honduras? Ours was very quiet, Dad and I were planning to go to Preston, but Dad had a Christmas basketball tournament that didn't end until late afternoon on the 31st. So Rachel, George and Stefanie drove up to Preston, and Dad and I celebrated here at home! We went out to dinner, played games, and watched the ball drop on Times Square. Stefanie said she had fun in Preston, Bryan's family was there too, so she liked hanging out with Collin and Austin.
Tomorrow is the first day back to school. The Christmas break is officially over! It has been a nice two week break, but I am excited to see my little first graders and get back to a routine. We are ready to begin the second half of the school year.
It has been a busy week for me in primary, getting ready for the first Sunday of the New Year. It takes a lot of time to get it organized--with new teachers, new classrooms, new class lists, new seating in Sharing Time. Saturday we had a little "Meet & Greet" activity for all the primary children to meet their new teachers. It was cute, and Sunday went as smooth as could be. Our ward was just moved to the 1:00-4:00 block. I love having lots of time in the morning to get ready for church, but Dad and Stefanie would rather have more time in the afternoon for a long Sunday nap!
Lehi basketball update…Dad's JV team is 10-0. They won all four games in the Christmas tournament. The Sophomores are 9-1, and varsity is 9-2. They went 2-2 in the Christmas tournament. The pre-season is now over, and region play begins this week against American Fork on Tuesday (your birthday). Go Lehi!
So that is all our news for this week. We love you! We are so proud of you! We will be thinking of you on Tuesday and hoping you are having a great birthday. Love, Mom
