The Nativity Video

Brandon and Barb 2012 Family Pictures

It has been a little while since our last family pictures. We are exited that we finally had the opportunity to have them done last weekend.

Season Greeting and a Happy New Year from all of us! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

We wish you all a very wonderful Christmas as you celebrate the birth of our Saviour.  What an amazing thing He did for us to come to this earth to be an example and show us how we should live our lives and then to make it possible through His atonement that we can one day return to live with Him.

We thank Graham and Jenny for hosting a great day.  I know the road hockey guys enjoyed their time.  For us, besides the wonderful food, the highlight had to be the little people performing the nativity.  Let me tell you a little bit about it:

CAST:
Narrator - Great Grampa
Mary - Jacey,
Joseph - Hyrum,
Baby Jesus - Our new baby, Joseph Allen (1 month old),
Angel - Stella,
Shepherd - Kingston,
Wisemen - Camilla, Amelia, Jenny,
Donkey - Leslie

It went like this:
Mary sat sedately looking over Baby Jesus who was perfect in his sleeping repose on the soft pillow.  Joseph stood by her side.  The shepherd flitted all over the countryside presumably looking for the lost sheep.  The angel quietly did her own thing.  The wise(ladies) came along nicely after what would have been a spill of frankincense and finding the lid for it.  The donkey sat at the corner of the stable completely in awe of the fact that he had carried the woman who carried the King.

We LOVED this short program.  Addie videod it.  Hopefully you will all get a chance to view it.  Too fun.  We are already looking forward to next year when everyone will be one year older. 

We so love all of our family,
Merry Christmas
Gramma & Grampa

All are welcome to join us for some

 Christmas Eve Street Hockey

If you around Edmonton for the holidays and are up for a little street hockey on Christmas Eve Day come on out to Fort Saskatchewan, we would love to see you.  If you aren't up for playing but would just like to visit, that is cool too.  We will have chili/soup on the go and endless hot chocolate.

THANK YOU

Thank you for a wonderful birthday party.  I didn't know that 75 could be so much fun!

Thanks to Grampa and Jenny and whoever else helped in any way.  Jenny asked me today "Gramma, did you feel so special?"  Yes - I did.  She then asked what I enjoyed the most.  For me, it is always so much fun to have everyone together.  I love to see all our family enjoying one another.  That is the most rewarding thing in the whole world. 

I appreciate all who came out and especially those who travelled long distances.  I am overwhelmed. I also know that there were others who would have loved to be in attendance but were unable to because of work and other obligations.  Please know that we were thinking of you. 

I enjoyed Troy's Happy Birthday song by e-mail.  I don't know how you do that, but it was great.  Thanks much.  I look forward to seeing all the pictures.

Love you all,
Gramma

Going Solo (Sort of)

Brent said I had to try a second picture by myself so here goes:

This is a picture of our crew at Ariana's Birthday Party.  A pretty handsome crew I'd say.

Love,
Gramma

Happy Halloween

I miss having children come to our door for Halloween but we DID have one person ring our buzzer and say "Trick or Treat".  It was our home teacher.  Here is what he brought us.

These are the cutest Owl Cupcakes.  The eyes are made from Oreo cookies with Jelly Beans.  The horns are from the wafer that was removed to expose the white center.  So cute!

So -- how do you like this old lady posting a picture?  Brent is sitting right here beside me to walk me through it.  I wonder if I can remember how to do it again.

Love you all,
Gramma
