December Activities 2012

Temple Square is a wonderful place to be during the Christmas season.  

 They began stringing lights in August.  The lights, displays, Christmas trees, nativity scenes and many singing groups all add to the beautiful ambiance of the season. This is a view of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building where we serve in the Training Zone on the Third Floor on the east side. 

 Saturday, December 7, we attended dance recitals for Kira and Talisa at Copper Hills high school.  They  were very excited.  Notice the special soft plastic hollow curlers Kim uses for Talisa's ringlets.

 Sunday we had the Eliasons over for dinner.  They've had a lot of sickness this week.  We enjoyed their pictures of their home construction and and their Eliason Reunion during Thanksgiving week.  This is Lillian.  Notice how dark and long her eyelashes are. 

 Lillian and Amelia were eager to check out what Mark was eating. 

 James and Grant made designs with dominoes on the tread mill.  They were concerned that they didn't have enough room to spell their school -Emerson - correctly, but were reassured than an abbreviation was all right. 

 Amelia is such a pixie.  Her bangs are about down to her her eye brows. 

 Monday night we were able to attend Talisa's first grade school program.  They sang many holiday songs with great gusto.  Kira-Keith-Talisa-Kim. 

 Talisa is the only one in her class who hasn't lost any teeth this year.  She lost 10 in Kindergarten. 

 Kira is delighted over her new earrings.

Keith and Kim bought a new Christmas tree this year.  It is beautiful.
