WE GOT OUR WHITE CHRISTMAS !


We were dreaming of a white Christmas, and boy did we get it! It's a picture postcard of dazzling whiteness outside. We love being able to get out for a little exercise and enjoyment of the fresh air!
Dave makes a pretty good snow angel!

Our Christmas Celebrations with our children and grand kids started on Dec. 23rd in our American Fork Home. We had Joe's and Julie's families with us for our Christmas Eve Eve party. Julie's gang had just come into town. They're moving back to Utah Valley! And we're so happy to have them here!
The ham dinner was a success. I tried a new "mustard loaf" recipe that I got from a friend, Rosemary Beck years and years ago. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. My good friend, Marie Callender. makes a great peach and rasselberry pie, which we all enjoyed for dessert.

Here are some fun pictures with our Utah family on Christmas Eve Eve.








On the actual Christmas Eve, day, we drove up to Boise to share some Christmas Cheer with Andrea and her family. We got there just in time to savour a fabulous tenderloin steak dinner, a-la-Ryck.

Here are some fun pictures we got of our Christmas Celebrations with our Idaho family.


I'm so glad that we got the "Bethlehem Garb" when we were in Saudi Arabia. We're getting really good use out of them every Christmas.


The girls loved the tutus we got them.

We're excited to bring in the new year, and see what lies ahead for us!

I haven't checked out your blog for awhile but it's been fun to catch up on all your activities. No grass grows under your feet, that's for sure!!! It's wonderful to see how much you're enjoying life after Arabia. You deserve it.
