"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." — Gordon B. Hinckley

Christmas 2008

I truly love Christmas Morning!!
The girls are so excited!! Surprisingly they
slept until almost 8!!
Santa you did great! The doll is a hit!! The crystal turtle is beautiful mom
and Raychel loves it!! A nice addition
to her collection!didj the new leapfrog game for Raychel,
she was very happy and surprised!Jolene loved the ponies Raychel got her!!
Huge hug!!Raychel loves her new chair her game and
her American doll. Jolee is the best dressed and cared for baby
around!
Beautiful bookcases we bought for the girls
from Cousin Thayne, this one is for
Raychel.
This one is for Jolene
Our neighbor was throwing away her old
cedar chest and asked if we would be interested in it!!
YES!!
It was a little scratched up, but
goodness it is about 40 years old!!
Nothing some sandpaper and paint
couldn't fix! It will be a great toy chest!

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD LIKE CHIDRENS FACES ON CHRISTMAS MORNING WHEN THEY ARE SURPRISED! ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SEE WHAT SANTA HAS BROUGHT THEM. MAKES ME MISS MY OWN SIX WHEN I THINK OF CHRISTMAS MORNINGS. THATS WHY GOD GAVE GRANDCHILDREN TO GRANDPARENTS. SO WE CAN ALWAYS SEE SWEET, HAPPY FACES WHEN CHILDREN OPEN THEIR PRESENTS ON CHRISTMAS. LOOKS LIKE YOU TWO GIRLS GOT ALL YOU WANTED AND MORE!!

THE BOOK SHELVES ARE LOVELY. THEY WILL LOOK REALLY NICE IN THE GIRLS ROOMS. WISH I COULD BRING THE DOLL HOUSE ONE HOME WITH ME ON THE PLANE, IN MAY! THE CHEST LOOKS GREAT. HEATHER, YOU DID A GOOD JOB OF FINISHING IT.
