Holiday Stuff

My dad has a friend who owns a copy of a first edition Book of Mormon. It's worth $75,000. And he let my dad borrow it so he could show all of us. I'm surprised this guy trusted my dad this much, but I was grateful. I've never seen a first edition copy of the Book of Mormon before and I probably never will again. What a great experience. You should click on the picture so you can read the title page. It's pretty cool.


Yesterday, the Lundgreen girls gathered at Mom's to bake some of our Greek holiday treats. We made baklava, kourabiethes and bougatsa.

It took a good part of the day, but it was well worth it. Shelby was a great helper, too. Her help mostly consisted of tasting the dough, but she said it tasted great.

After the baking was done, Beth was exhausted and she decided to take a nap on the couch. Shelby wanted to join her, but in true Shelby fashion she didn't nap.
