Christmas morning

Grant received a ukulele and James got a trumpet.  They have been learning to play these instruments for the last year and a half and were really excited to have their own. 


Grandma was delighted to receive a new set of  scriptures but even more appreciative and grateful for the testimonies of all of the children and several of the grandchildren.  Christmas really is about remembering the Savior, Jesus Christ!


John and Lillian are thrilled with their stuffed animals. 


Mark and Kristilyn prepare chocolate chip pancakes for Christmas breakfast. 

 Kim set an elegant Christmas dinner table and served a delicious dinner to the grandparents on Christmas night.
