The Thiot Times - On the 2nd Day of Christmas Edition

Monday, December 15, 2008


I may get in trouble for this and it isn't as cute as Robynn originally formats it but...

Our Mansfield Thiot’s
This was a bit of a nervous week for the Mansfield Thiot’s. Ricky’s company was doing some restructuring and he has been given a new product to sell. Instead of Heart Medications, he is now in the Allergy Meds division. He has a week of training this week but the good news is, it’s at the Gaylord Texan, over by the airport. He has to stay over there, but can hopefully sneak a few trips home to see his girls this week. Good Luck Ricky and Happy Studying to you. We loved Friday night when we got to take Brooklyn to Bethlehem. Yes, you read that right. The city of Waxahachi Texas has a special part of town they have turned into Bethlemem. It was so wonderful. Brooklyn loved seeing the animals and the Star and the Sweet Baby Jesus. We loved being there with her and hope to make it a part of our Christmas traditions. Thanks for sharing her with us Ricky and Becky.


Our Provo Grange’s
Jake left on Saturday afternoon for San Fransisco. He is going to present his paper and research that he has been working on this semester. He went with a couple of other students in his lab and his professor. Tatia was wishing she could stow away in his bag, but not this time. Jake will be home on Wednesday night and Tatia leaves on Thursday morning to come to Dallas. She will be the first to arrive for our Christmas Celebration. I can hardly wait! I hope this week goes quickly and the I hope the next week goes S-L-O-W-L-Y.


Our Carmichael Thiot’s
Charlie had a job interview on Friday at a different bank. He is still working at his current job, just looking for a new opportunity. Good Luck Charlie. Mackenzie and Keelie have had a fun week. They got to attend Mackenzie’s mom’s work party. Keelie has the cutest little red sweater with a fur collar and looked darling and very festive. I’m sure she was the hit of the party. We are getting so excited to see you next weekend you three. Have a good week.


Our Provo Thiot’s
This is a crazy busy time for Pierce and Stacy. Final Projects and Final exams are hard under the very best of circumstances. I’m so glad they have eachother to love and support one another. You are in our prayers and we can hardly wait to have you here next weekend too.

We Plano Thiot’s
This may have been one of the busiest weeks ever in Dick’s life. He has had Tithing Settlement each night this week except for Family Night on Monday and Friday night.
Friday morning we got to be at the church at 5:00 to fix breakfast for the seminary students. The Bishopric do a breakfast each Christmas at the end of the semester and this year we made Breakfast Burritos. Ohhhhh they were good. It was fun to be there with those kids so bright and early. Thanks for letting me come Dick.
Dick had Woodbadge training all day on Saturday and enjoyed being there with all those happy Scouters. As soon as he got home from that, it was time to go to a lovely Christmas dinner at the Dahl’s. It was a very nice evening. When we got home, I don’t think it took 2 minutes to fall asleep.
I’ve had a fun week working on Christmas Cards. That is one of my favorite parts of Christmas both writing and receiving Christmas cards. It’s always so fun to hear from those we only hear from during the Holidays. Now this week it’s time get ready for the most wonderful week of the year. Having all the Thiot’s home for the first time in 10 years is going to be a way great time. I can hardly wait. I hope you have a great week I’ll be singing this song if you see me this week.
Oh, there’s no place like home For the holidays, ’cause no matter How far away you roam If you want to be happy in a million ways For the holidays, you can’t beat Home, sweet home.
