Hello!
A couple of fun things. We went to a neighborhood party last Saturday, with so much food you had to shake your head... :) The fun thing (besides socializing and getting to know neighbors better) was discovering these incredibly easy, tasty treats! Here, I made some yesterday and took a picture for you. 
They take 3-5 minutes to make, and I'm not kidding! Recipe:
Pretzel Delights
mini twist pretzels
Hershey Kisses
M&M's
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2. Lay out mini pretzels on a cookie sheet on wax paper.
3. Place Hershey Kiss on pretzel (I actually cut the kisses in half--kind of a pain but we think that's a better amount of chocolate per pretzel...)
4. Put in oven for 2 and 1/2 minutes, give or take a few seconds.
5. Kisses should be soft. so now push an M&M into the kiss.
Viola! Very fun, easy salty/sweet treat. I think I'll get some peanut butter M&M's and try those on top.
The OTHER fun thing was that Frank and I got to go to a Boston Celtics game last night! Yep, champion basketball team from this past spring.
The Celtics beat the Utah Jazz, 100-91. Here's their logo: I guess he represents a "Celtic?"
The funny part is, do you remember Danny Ainge? BYU basketball player, went on to play for the Celtics and actually 3 other pro basketball teams... Now he's the "President of Basketball Operations" for the Celtics--he recruits for them, and handles the sponsor deals, etc. That's about all I know but WHY do I know this? Because he's our Bishop, in our church congregation here.
Last Sunday night, Frank took David to the Bishop's Youth Night: kind of an inspirational/spiritual thought fireside for the youth, at the Ainge's house. On the front door they posted a note: "we have 2 more tickets to tomorrow night's game, if anyone can go..." At the end of the evening Frank asked if they still had the tickets so THAT's how we went! They were really good seats, and we were happy to take them off their hands.
Interesting thing, living here. I lived in California 5 years, and I never saw a celebrity! I come here and I do....OH, another person we saw: Michael Phelps, 
OK--back to THE LIST! Have a great week-before-Christmas! Love, Kari
Happy New Year 2023

OOOOOhhh - I am so impressed....Michael Phelps! We loved watching him over the summer! Fun going to the game too - I love watching basketball!!
You have more stars around you than the Malibu wards! I LOVE professional sports games. (One thing I miss about Denver) Thanks for the cool new treat. They look tasty!
That makes me laugh---and is it wrong for me to be envious of you because you have a superstar for a bishop? I can't even begin to imagine how busy that man (and consequently his counselors) must be!!
