The Star of Bethlehem

Tonight was the 3rd Ward Christmas party. There was dinner followed by a program in which Jesse was supposed to be an angel.

When the primary kids started their program, Jesse was no where to be found. We knew he was still with the kids because he wasn't with us. When it came time for the Star of Bethlehem to come out, there was Jesse. He loved the attention and was definitely the star of the show! The costume itched him a little bit, and his arms got a little tired from time to time and he had to stretch them, but he did a great job!

4. It causes you to get stuck places you don't want to be

5. It's cold

6. It's cold

7. It's cold

8. It leaves ice behind and this causes you to have to walk with caution ANYWHERE you want to go.

10. Did I mention I hate the cold?

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman

On Friday, we held a graveside service for my aunt who recently lost her battle with cancer. The service was beautiful and both of her daughters gave wonderful tributes to their mother. It was a very sad day for our family. We will miss her greatly, but know that we will see her again and that she is no longer suffering. We love you Aunt Marilee!
