(Christmas pic above from 2008)From an e-mail a couple of weeks ago...
Me: Derek, I know this is a weird question for you to think about right now, but is there anything special you're hoping Santa brings you for Christmas?
Elder Reid: Ummm, hmmmm - no. You know me mom, I'm picky. I don't know what size I am right now and I don't know anything about the latest electronics -- how about I'm just happy to be with my family this Christmas. How's that? We'll shop later...
The next's week's e-mail...
Me: Derek, is there anything special you'd love to have for Christmas dinner that first day home?
Elder Reid: Yes, I've thought about that one. A nice juicy T-bone steak, mashed potatoes, cabbage salad, stuffed mushrooms, vanilla icecream from Costco and brownies. All the things you can't get here in Mexico. And then a couple of days later, I'll probably want Mexican food again. But that's what I want first ha ha.
Hilarious! Couldn't think of a thing he wanted for Christmas (it's OK, Santa already knows) -- but he sure knew exactly what he wants for dinner! Well Tiff, looks like we'll be getting some meat back on him in no time (tee hee).

That is so funny! Yet nothing beats a momma's home cooking. Sounds just like Wes every time he came home from college. You will probably be amazed at how much he eats it one sitting! With Wes I was disgusted!
