The Holidays Are Here

 The Gingerbread Festival is going on at the Trail Center and Kanesville Tabernacle until after Christmas with over a hundred displays of creative edible artwork. YUMMY!
 We love the aroma of gingerbread and frosting wafting through the Visitor Centers!
The spirit of Christmas has settled in a little early this year!
 The young sister missionaries have several mall performances throughout the Holidays.
These are just a few who sang at the Oak View Mall on Nov. 20th.
I love being a chaperone on these little jaunts because I can slip in a little mall-shopping on the side!
Our Thanksgiving Feast was delicious with turkey, pumpkin pie and everything in between.
We welcomed the brand new missionaries who just landed the day before and loved all the attention.
The sister missionaries sang lots of holiday songs which put the finishing touches on a perfect day!

Here Come the Holidays....

 Whenever we have free time we hop in the van and go exploring to some of the pioneer sites
along the Mormon Trail.  There are many markers in the greater Winter Quarters area noting events which took place during the years of 1846-52.

 It's November so we got out our Thanksgiving decorations, then went right on decorating....
putting up our little Christmas tree and all the rest of the decorations we brought from home.
 Our little apartment is looking nice and cozy with our holiday decorations
adding some color to the room!  We might just leave them up until spring!
 Here are all the cute sister missionaries getting ready for transfers.
We love serving with them....they are the best!
If you want to have a spot on our bedroom mirror.....send us your pictures!
We love getting your letters and pictures!
