WHOOOO hoooooo!!!
Sorry that video was a little short...When we went around the corner of the house that north wind was bitter cold....as you can see from the little face Haylee is pulling. "Grandma, I want to go back inside!"
What was in Tucker's package? A few bottles of Diet Coke, some Mentos and some kind of contraption that empies the Mentos into the Coke all at once resulting in the following reaction:
Ho, Ho, Ho and Merry Christmas!!!

Surprise, Surprise!!!
These little nuggets are called "Brown Bobbies." The original recipe is from 1935 when Great-Aunt Mima bought the "Brown Bobbie" Machine. She paid extra for the recipe rather than purchase a mix
from the company. She kept the recipe secret for years and years, but as her eye sight failed, she asked Aunt Mary to copy it in larger print for her. After Aunt Mary went home she wrote down the formula, and it's a good thing because after Aunt Mima died the original recipe was never found. The original machine made triangular shaped cakes, but these new donut machines work quite well baking them in the "round." Thanks for the donut machine Natalie and Jared.....

Family Christmas Home Evening
Luke's little boy, Keven's daughter, Sam's grandaughter, Jenny C.'s little boy.
He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village, where He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never had a family or owned a home. He never set foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never wrote a book, or held an office. He did none of the things that usually accompany greatness. While He was still a young man, the tide of the popular opinion turned against Him. His friends deserted Him, He was turned over to His enemies, and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had--His coat. When He was dead, He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave. Two thousand years have come and gone, and today He is the central figure for much of the human race. All the armies that ever marched and all the navies that ever sailed and all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as this
"One Solitary Life."

A little "somthin' somthin'" for the workers on our shift at the Temple. Sister Willis made some really cute cards to go with them that we attached to the back...

"Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but, the fire is so delightful!!!"
Yes, it's very true.
About 6:30 a.m. this morning. The electricity went off about 1:15 a.m. and just barely came back on.
Grandpa measured about 17" of snow on the lawns.
Power went off again..
Power came on again...
Power went off again...

We had so much fun!!! Over the river and through the woods became-over the divide and down through Slate Creek to the Valley of the Sun. The kids were all having Thanksgiving Dinner with their other families, so we had lunch and leftovers. The cousins had such a great time with each other. (I think our neighbors at the townhouse were a little dumb-founded to see so many people coming in and out and the little kids getting along and playing so well together.)
Ali and Reese working on their turkeys. We had Christmas ornaments to make, too. Cute little punch out things and then they could glue sparklies wherever they wanted...some of them were quite ornate!!
