Merry Christmas To All!

For our Christmas Eve Eve we got together with the Beck family and had a wonderful dinner and played the traditional Beck Bingo. We all had a great time.
One of the bingo prizes this year was a puppy. Sue won it and took him all the way back to Kaysville with her.
On Christmas Eve we decorated sugar cookies for Santa. And after that we delivered Christmas to a family. The family was not home so we laid everything out and it gave us all such a good feeling.
We came back home and had a delicious meal. Chad read the Christmas story and we acted out our parts. We used costumes from our ward Christmas Party so we were all decked out. We had a wonderful time with our family. Merry Christmas To All1

Gratitude

Things I am most grateful for are my beautiful grandchildren.
I was also grateful to have my family home for Thanksgiving. We had a great time together eating and afterwards we went sleigh riding behind Chad's four-wheeler. I only got dumped out three times. Kate and Karson were the best riders.
After thanksgiving our family tradition is to take down thanksgiving and put up Christmas. It usually takes all day Friday. On Saturday Chad and I went up the mountains to get our Christmas tree but the roads were so slick we almost slid off the road. I begged Chad to take me home because I was so scared. So on Monday we went up again, Pomerelle way this time, and we got our tree. We had to walk in knee deep snow for quite aways but we finally found our Christmas tree.
