Here are more pictures of Christmas. I love the way the snow makes the lights on our bushes glow.

Our cat Cubby loves the new tree. And we've decided that the tall tree is worth the extra work. Our old-fashioned decorations look great on it.

Kimberley and I look so lovely together, don't you think? She is as excited about Christmas as I am.

To those of you who think California or Arizona or other warm climates are great, just look at how easy it is to get the Christmas spirit while looking out our back door!!!

And check out the lights on my mother's yard next door. I seriously love Utah , especially at Christmas-time.

Last year our Christmas tree pretty much bit the dust. We decided that this year we would get a new tree, those new-fangled ones with the lights already on it. When we went to the store to look at trees we saw the 7 foot trees and they looked so small next to the 9 and 12 foot trees. Since we have a two story living room we knew there was plenty of room for a taller tree. So, we decided that a 9 foot tree would do nicely. Did we stop to think about how we'd actually reach the top to decorate a taller tree? Here is Ken with the big ladder with only one question on his mind, "What were we thinking?"

This year for Thanksgiving we invited Jenny Williams Maururi (Ken's niece) and her husband Gustavo and their twins over. They are darling and lots of fun to have around. Of course, Grant and Kristin and my mother were there, too.

One of the main reasons I went down to Michelle's recently was to help them move into their new house. Real estate in Tucson is pretty reasonable right now so they were lucky to find a very nice home that they could afford. As you can see, Asher is just sick of having his picture taken.

I am very blessed because even though my grandbabies live in Az, I have the means to go visit them often. My most recent trip was the weekend after Thanksgiving. I was lucky to be there when Michelle and her little family were decorating for Christmas.

I haven't added to this blog because I have been busy but, mostly, because I wasn't sure there would be anyone who would want to look at my blog. But I will try my hand at adding to this blog and see how things turn out. Since I don't have cute little children around every day that make wonderful blog subjects, I guess I will have to include pictures taken of my grandbabies during my trips to Michlle's house. And, I will include things that I have been doing, or things that I find interesting. So here goes...
