Happy Holidays!

I've had a lot of fun with Family and Friends these last several weeks...

My mom hosted with me at the Friendship Tree at the Festival of Trees.

My cousin's son Sutter from California. My dad's brother Paul and his family usually come to SLC every Christmastime. They come eat dinner with us one of the nights that they are in town. My aunt Pam owns her childhood home located in SLC so they come to stay at it often.

Zeke, Justin, and Stella--Crystal's family came over for dinner too.

My cousin Katil giving my dad a head-lock.

My Jacob-Cousins' Katil & Tully

My Stephens-Cousin Jeff. The case he was working on settled earlier then expected, so his family surprised everyone by coming to SLC for Christmas. Brad came with them. They left for home after Carrie spoke in church for her "mission farewell." She's going to Brazil.

Braxton & David--My brother and his family came to town the day after Christmas. They were still in town for Carrie's "farewell" too.

Crystal, Zeke, Oscar, Felicity, Stella's head, Brody, and Maizy

My sister, Charity, gave my dad a puzzle of him picking his nose. It's been a big hit with all who see it.

Brody with his new puppy and slide. Felicity's family came to town on Christmas Eve.

Kit & Brody

Charity's friend gave her a "boyfriend" for Christmas. I thought it was a very creative gift. My brother-in-law Kit came across some huge diamond rings (keychains) and thought they were the perfect gifts for Charity and I.

I took Zeke and Maizy to see Santa vs. the Snowman in 3-D on the ATK IMAX Screen at Clark Planetarium. I believe this is our third year going to see it. We also ate lunch at Wendy's, took some money to the Road Home Shelter, rode TRAX a couple of blocks to see my dad at work at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and got kiddie cones at McDonalds when we got back home.

My last day with SLC International Department of Airports Finance Division. We had our Christmas Party this day too.

I got a cool Lava Lamp in the Gift Exchange.

Nephi from the American Continent comes to Testify of Jesus Christ and hand out Shepherd's Crooks to the Children at our Ward Christmas Party. I've never seen that before.
