About a month ago, Steve's Mom, Pat, and Alana flew down so that Alana could go to the temple. Alana's dear friends, Roxy and Larry, drove down from Utah to go to the temple also. It was pretty wonderful having all of these great people with us. Evan also had his homecoming talk about his mission in Argentina in Sacrament meeting the next day. Many dear friends and family members attended and we are grateful for their love and support - it meant more than they will ever know. We are pictured above in front of the LA Temple (thanks Roxy for some great photos).
About a week later, Alana's sister and Megster, aunt, grandmother and cousins threw a bridal shower for her. She received lovely gifts and got to see some dear friends.
Then we transitioned into Christmas mode for the weekend. Gavin and Coco are shown here looking at the Christmas town. . .sure, it's cheesy but the little kids love it.
I had a meeting downtown and the little kids joined Evan for dinner and looking at the Christmas lights.
I worked the Rotary Breakfast with Santa and the kids, Meg and Erin got to talk with Santa about what is important.
At the ward Christmas party, Ellie and Gavin were Joseph and Mary in the Nativity play.
We also got to see Santa again this past week at the Leven Oaks Christmas Party. Santa has been really busy this year going to a lot of places.
Then it was off to the Brush Christmas Party, the best Christmas party ever. The food is delicious, the decorating is over the top and Santa always shows up there too. Thanks so much, Dan and Mary.
Just look at all of those desserts - and this is just a small sample of them!
James and Lisa couldn't believe their eyes. . .all that sugar in one place.
Uncle is shown here with the little kids when they left the party after seeing Santa. . .what fond memories we all have of this party.
Santa always comes to our house when we are at the Christmas party and he leaves some early packages for the kids.
Santa always knows that the kids need some new pajamas and he gives the pj's to good boys and girls ahead of time. Thanks, Santa!
