It's the holiday season and I'm two holidays behind. My life is full of good things. Here are a few pictures of our Halloween party. Unfortunately my batteries died before I could get all the pictures I wanted. We had a lot of good soup and the highlight of the evening was the pumpkin walk and Kevin's family home evening message.
Thanksgiving was another nice day complete with our famous turkeys full of birdseed. This is the second year now we have begun dinner singing "Come Ye Thankful People come". It sets a nice tone for the meal. We especially liked our enlarged table so everyone could sit around it. The men watched football afterward and the women watched "Friendly Persuasion".
Now Christmas it almost here and we have had some nice activities in the month of December. On December 4th, we and possibly everyone else in the county, went to the Festival of Trees. We saw lots of beautiful trees and came home and had pizza for dinner. That night some of our grandchildren had a sleep-over while their parents went to Park city.
Another nice evening was spent visiting a home where the family had a small train that transported people to see Santa's workshop and then took us through a beautiful display of scenes from the life of Christ. We came home and warmed up with chili-cheese baked potatoes and hot chocolate. Last of all, I did two concerts a nursing homes with my singing group. This week promises to be filled with many more nice evenings.
