Grandma Janes Funeral

My Grandma Jane was an amazing woman. It's hard to believe she is really gone. She always amazed me how she could do so much. She even worked a job til the end, not because she had to, but because she wanted to. If only her body could have kept up with her mind and spirit. It was hard to watch her the last few weeks as her physical body was giving up on her. I'm so grateful to have the knowledge of the gospel. I know where she is and I think it is so neat that after 44 years she can meet up again with her husband. Its been a long time. Plus her brothers and sister and countless others. But we sure do miss her here. We have had many family traditions with our Grandma, many memories, and I hope we will be able to continue with them. I wish she could have been here for Christmas. Instead we said our goodbye on Christmas Eve.

We love and miss you Grandma!

Christmas Trees

We wish you all a

Very Merry Christmas!

Here is one of our new trees we planted

in the back yard a few months ago.

Our plan is to decorate our little

pine tree every year as it grows tall.

Here is a little video of Devyn's Christmas Concert that she sang at her school, Silent Night.

Live Nativity

Last night we went to a Live Nativity in Draper. Can I just tell you how awesome that was. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't what I saw. It was like we traveled to Bethlehem to see the newborn son. We were there. What neat experience! Devyn and the Camel.

We also saw llama, goat, sheep, calf.

Jacob and Dan started building a T-rex until Jacob wanted to climb up on top of the T-rex and decided to slide down. He thought that was more fun than a T-rex. So they started sliding.

I can't figure out how to turn the video

I guess I can't take them sideways. oops!

Gingerbread Houses

Every year we make a little gingerbread house at Grandma Strongs.

Ethan was so funny, because he mostly ate the candy.

Seeing Santa

I don't remember seeing Santa talk over the top of his mustache

before. This must have been one of Santas helpers.
