The Nativity through a Child's Eyes

....and Spiritually Speaking: The Nativity through a Child's Eyes:    This is so sweet!

Beautiful baby Daniel

Grandpa Williams, Annabelle, Grandma Williams & baby Daniel

We drove to Hillsboro, Oregon to baby Daniel's blessing. Daddy Peter gave a beautiful blessing, then we went to their home for a delicious lunch. Grandma and Grandpa Talbot drove down from Oak Harbor, and stayed Saturday night with us and we all drove down together. It was a lovely day. Then the Talbots stayed Sunday night with us and we planned their 60th wedding anniversary celebration with them. I think they are excited for their party. It's so much fun to celebrate on two ends of life. It will be great!

This is very moving. Enjoy.

We had our annual family Sunday-before-Christmas party at Heather & Dan's house tonight. A huge THANK YOU to my family for movin' that party up to accomodate our visit to Utah. It was so great to see my sister's, bro., nieces, nephews, brotha-in-law, and my kids and grandkids. I really miss you all!

These guys make me laugh...always.

Thank you Dan and Heather for hosting the party this year. Your home is beautiful and you guys are AWESOME!

We went to see the lights at Temple Square. Ron had never been to them before, so on our way from Erin's to Shannon's we stopped in Salt Lake and walked around. It was beautiful!

BRRRRR!

We went inside the J.S.M.B. to thaw out for a minute and get some really good cocoa from the

Nauvoo Cafe.

Look at the pretty tree behind us...love it!
Also, I lost an earring while we were there....I have it on in this picture, but not
in the ones outside after this was taken. So I must have lost it out among the
gazillion people there....so if anyone who was at Temple Square on Saturday
night is reading this and maybe found a silver, kinda dangly-with-pokeyoutty-designs
on it earring, it is mine. Okay, thank you. Oh, and did I mention I have the most amazing husband
in the whole wide world? I do.
*Update on lost earring...apparently I didn't have both earrings on in this picture.
Erin texted me and said Tyler found my earring on the step into the garage.
So I was playing pirate the entire night at T. S.....Arggh!
But thanks for finding it, Tyler!

We Love these little guys!
