Since we were in Utah for almost 4 weeks over Christmas break, Tyler was worried that I wouldn't want to go home with him. He thought I'd get too caught up in the family festivities and remember the luxuries of being around family that I would forget the quite happy life we had in Tennessee. To help persuade me to go home he started, "chalking up points for Tennessee." Unfortunately for him I then started, "chalking up points for Utah." Here's part of our running tally.
Chalk one up for Utah: A white Christmas (my dream come true)
Chalk one up for Tennessee: Our church building is closer to our home than it is in Utah. We had to walk 3 blocks in Utah instead of 2.
Chalk one up for Utah: A full cast for the Christmas nativity
Chalk one up for Tennessee: Lucas caught the horrible cold that was going around. He was sick Christmas day and the following week. Had we not been in Utah he wouldn't have been around all that sickness.
Chalk one up for Utah: Luke was never left to play alone. Plus he had way more than 2 adoring fans.
Chalk one up for Utah: The mohawk was tamed.
Chalk one up for Utah: Lucas had a bonus birthday party with cookies & milk and several gifts.
Chalk one up for Utah: Lucas had his best first Christmas ever! Thank you family.
