Guests, please don't wash the dishes!

My aunt and uncle came to visit. We had a lot of fun. We made pepperkarkor cookies and popcorn balls. (Throw away your old unpopped popcorn.) We had our grand Thanksgiving feast and celebrated Karen's birthday. It was really very enjoyeable, but I cannot stand using greasy dishes. My father likes to wash all my dishes and my aunt does them about the same way as my father. My mother decided to be "helpful" last visit and even boasted about her "helpfulness". I have one of the cheapest models of dishwashers out there. You can't just throw plates covered in food and grease into the dishwasher. You cannot put in unwashed pots and expect them to come out clean! I am very careful when I handwash my dishes. I use running water to rinse the dishes. Next I use running water and soap to wash, then rinse. In this way I get clean, not greasy dishes. Should you come be my guest you are welcome to vacuum my carpet, wash my kitchen floor, clean my bathrooms, but please- don't touch the dishes!

Saturday Aaron was singing at Temple Square. We went out to dinner at The Blue Iguana. It was very good Mexican food. We recommend it. Next we froze looking at all the lights. We went into buildings every now and then. Sorry I forgot the camera. I got to see the inside of the Tabernacle for the first time. I can see why the conference center was built. It is really small.
Aaron's choir was really not very good. Afterwards he talked for at least an hour about how bad the choir was and how stupid they sounded and all their problems. I approached him quitting since he's got bells now and he said "No way". Oh well. Caitlyn cried because she was so cold. Sunday morning she was obviously sick. By evening Eric had it too. I've just started. Ben was sick all last week. He still has pooping issues. He has to change his clothes afterwards. This Friday Emily is in "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever". I hope she will stay well at least until afterwards. Emily and Aaron went to the Christmas Devotional last night. Emily enjoyed it. Karen and I listened to it on the radio. She fell asleep during the closing prayer.
