A busy and Wonderful December!!!

This is my cousin Terri Peterson and her family. Troy is her husband, Terri and her family joined the church after my family did are all 4 children served missions and remain active. It has been a while since I have seen her. It was so good to see her when we went to Phoenix , Arizonia.

The girls hanging out at a visit to Uncle Bob's.... Jared's uncle whi is ill. (Grandma Grace,s brother.)

At the Mesa temple. Kellie, Natalie, Spencer, Porter, Ally, Aunt Karen, Emillie, Sam, Abby and JAred. These children are Tatiana's.... They loved Jared and followed him everywhere. When we were leaving Saturday evening to get ready to fly home Sam said," I want you to stay. Don't go!" Isn't that the cute!

We could not find John ... Rosie was looking for him but took this shot anyway. It was a beautiful day. Fun and eventful!

We were able to do a sesion in the Mesa temple which has been a goal of Jared's for a long time. To those who changed their plans to be there.... Thanks! It was beautiful! My cousin Terri and Troy were there but he had to go back to work.

Grandma's family that attended the reunion. I am so glad we went! We had a great time together.


Christmas Eve would not be the same without the barn at Uncle Ron,s. We were smaller in numbers but great in spirit and thought of all of you who were unable to be there. Clare, Char and Gracie.... actually Clarke was in bed all day with a migraine and arrived at the end of the barn activities but are so glad he was able to recover and come for a while.

Allyson and Taylor and the added Christmas message which we all loved, especially all the kiddos who got to hold real candles!

Nativity participants!


SO on My birthday Sarah was kind enought o host a dinner and a party for me. We had dinner, delicious ice cream cake made by Spencer, and a game of GOLF. Thank you it was one of the best gifts I received!


Gracie loves her Grandma!!!

I had a lot of helpers blowing out all those candles!
Sarah's kiddos came to spend the night and Ashley we went to the Turlock parade. It was chilly!


Thank you Ashley for coming with us. These kids love you so much!!!


Benson got a front row seat. He is getting so big!

Sarah, Spencer and Benson were Mary, Joseph and the babe. By the way Sarah was great with child and made us all laugh as she waddled out to do her part. New baby girl arrives in two weeks! Yeah!!!!
Gracie, Char and I on Christmas Eve at the farm.
All of my children together except Spencer who we missed. He is in Okinawa having a great experience and with some luck from our tax return I am hoping to go in June!!!
