Early presents for John & Mitch


Mitchell and John both got early Christmas presents this year. Mitchell and John are flying to Chicago right now to go to the Monday Night Football game tomorrow night. The Bears play the Packers in Chicago. John was able to get the Chicago Tribune to give him free tickets for all of the advertising they do in that paper. It was kind of a long story, but in the end, he ended up with two free tickets to the game. We decided to surprise Mitch with the news of the tickets. We told him Friday night. He was so excited!! They were able to use frequent flyer miles to get there and they will stay with John's sister Annette. Its suppose to be like 6 degrees that night! COLD! JOhn was so excited that he could hardly sleep all week! It has been one of his biggest dreams to go to see a Bears game at Soldier Field. I am happy that he gets to cross this off his bucket list!

John has been asking me for a few years to make him a train scrapbook to display at the train party. I decided to surprise him with one Thursday night. It was a little crazy trying to get it done this week and get the Christmas cards done and get the house ready for the party.... but somehow I did it! He loved it!

That is so great they got to go to a Chicago game!!
My nephew just left for his mission to Chicago. In fact he will leave the MTC on the 22nd! It is going to be quite a change for him!! I'll have to talk to you about relatives in Chicago. Maybe they can keep a
watch for "Elder Stratton" from AZ!! I'm so sorry we
missed the Train night this year. But don't take us off your list. We'll be their next year!!
