Happy New Year!!

We send you all a wish for a happy and peaceful New Year with good things for your families. We have been blessed to see some of our family and talk to all the others and spend more time with my Mom this year. We are so grateful for being blessed with a terrific family and appreciate their love and and friendship as well! Our Father in Heaven has been good to us in our aging years. There are aches from just getting older, but we appreciate that we can travel and enjoy our family and friends!

A very cute video on Christmas!

Nativity Collection

We enjoy the Nativity and have begun a collection for our home and have decorated our tree with nativity oraments. Here are a few of the sets which have been given to us by our children and friends.

Our talented daughter, Amanda took a picture of us today - we were pleased with the results and appreciate her skill and time spent with us. Thank you, Amanda!

Joseph Smith Building Displays

This chandelier is huge and sparkles over the top of the tree

There was a large display of different types of nativity sets - these are just a few

This tree goes clear to the ceiling chandelier - just stunning- there is a balcony all around where musical groups sang Christmas music - just beautiful!

I spent some time in the Joseph Smith Building where we had lunch in the Garden Room n the 10th floor, then sat and listened to high school choirs which were very good and viewed the huge tree in the center and the display of nativity sets. Very much got me in the mood for Christmas

Christmas at Temple Square

Patsy and Malcolm in the Garden Room Restaurant on the 10th floor of the Joseph Smith Building in Salt Lake with a view of the Temple

The Salt Lake Temple lit up for Christmas with lights all over the Temple grounds!
Pictures just don't do it justice!
