Wow! Christmas Day came way to fast, but then the day slowed down to a snails pace while waiting for Derek to call home! I even went to Costco and bought the 6 phone Uniden special so that we could all talk at the same time. Unfortunately we found out that you can only talk on three at a time. And poor Derek could only hear one person at a time! None the less it was a very sweet sound when that phone rang. And event though I had a phone in my hand, Jaimie still beat me to answering it! I guess she does not understand the rules of being a Mom and getting to talk to your missionary first! I will be sitting on her when he calls for Mother's day!
It was so awesome getting to hear his voice again after 7 months! It was really weired hearing such a mature man talk. This was my first baby! I am not sure really what I expected, but he sounded different even from Mother's Day. He sounded great. He was so excited that they had a baptism on Sunday. He talked about how much he loves Bath. The people there are really nice to them. One funny thing he did tell us, they drive a mini van! Go figure. I bet that is a sight to see. He is just grateful that they have a mode of transportation that doesn't include snow shoes.
It was hard to get off the phone with him but he timed it right, so that he did have to go because of the late hour. Smart kid. Because he knows that I could have asked him questions for ever!
I have to say that it was by far the best Christmas present ever!

What a fun gift to talk to your missionary. I love the pics of you opening your presents. It's almost like we were there with you!
How awesome! I can't even imagine what that must feel like. You are one blessed mama!
BTW thanks for the cute book...Carter loved it and wanted me to read it five times in one sitting! We love books.
You guys are such great friends and neighbors! You have done so much for us I don't know how we could ever repay you.
Thanks for thinking of us.
