Time to catch things up a bit...

We managed to get through the Christmas season without too much extra drama.

The Seger family and 2016 Christmas tree.  And Kevin...

At a Christmas party for the Turner's Grandpa's work (Quest Property Management), all the kids got to visit Santa and received special presents.  This is Hailye.

Garret gets his shot...

Allye and Santa...

Lastly, Avrye.  I took about a dozen shots of her and this was the only one I got that showed any kind of reaction from her.  Well, better than nothing.  Lots of good food and fun for the night.  The Seger kids did pretty well.

Christmas morning brings a lot of laughter and joy.  

Merry Christmas, Grandma!

"How do I get into this thing?"

This is kind of what everything looked like before everyone got up.  Before the storm was unleashed.

Later Christmas evening we all went down to the Turner's for a GrandKids Christmas.  

...kids everywhere...

Just to catch you up, we've been working on our papers for our next mission.  They were submitted and I received word today that they have been in the "to be assigned" status since January 12th.  So, they should be done with it any day now.  I will post the unveiling when we get it.

We are working in the Sacramento Temple on Saturday evenings and the Placerville Family History Center on Tuesday afternoons.  Both are keeping us busy.  We have a couple of medical issues that we are working through that should be resolved by the time we leave, hopefully.  'Course, that depends on when we leave.  I managed to screw up my shoulder during my last shutdown in Nauvoo and am still suffering from that.  Doesn't look like that will ever be resolved but one can always hope, right?  It does take a while to get all of our ducks in a row to fill out the paperwork and everything approved/completed.  I suppose someday they ought to offer classes on how to fill out the missionary paperwork.  But, it gets easier the more you do it...

So, more to come...
