LaMar and I didn't get back from Prescott until 5:00 pm

on Christmas Eve. The kids came over for our Christmas

Eve Dinner and party. Sherry baked the ham, and Celinda

made the potatoes, jello salad, peas, and punch. Santa came

(Wes on the roof) and Bryan's little girls were so excited!

We played Christmas Bingo. We called Dustin and Andra and

sang "We wish you a merry Christmas", they are getting a lot

of snow in Seattle ( more than they usually get). It was a nice

evening. I was so tired and didn't take but these three pictures:(

LaMar travels a lot with his work (ATC and Associates).
He is a Remediation Tech. He usually works out of town
Monday thru Fridays. When I'm out of school I like to go
with him. This December he was working in Prescott, Az.
I LOVE this town, it is so pretty and on the edge of the
mountains. It is only 2 or so hours drive from Mesa. This
is the nicest Hotel he has ever stayed at. I got to come with
him one other time to this Hotel. This trip we took Kelsey,
Bryan's oldest little girl. Kids need a change also, and she LOVED
being with us. She was so good and it was fun watching her
excitment. She had us laughing all the time!

We were busy coloring and making Christmas Chains
to decorate our Hotel room!

I was working on the computer and when I looked up
Kelsey was wearing Grandpa's pajamas!!

Our room had a balcony we could go out on and a pretty

view. Kelsey and I took a walk up in the trees one day.

The Hotel had a wonderful indoor pool and jacuzzi. We went

swimming everyday! Kelsey was quite a fish!

The Elderly Widow Sisters in our Ward get together every Monday
Evening for Family Home Evening and read the lesson for
Relief Society and Sunday School for the next week. Then they
play games. I invited them to my home for Dinner since I'm single
on most Mondays also. We had a wonderful time! They came at 6:00
and didn't leave until almost 11:00 p.m.!! This is two of my favorite
Sisters, Norma Simmons and Emmy Lou Johnson! They have both
been such wonderful examples to me and great friends!

Kaylee and Lacy, here for the weekend.

Jared has been working on a job in North Carolina but got to
come home for Thanksgiving. This little gal LOVES her Dad
