MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Grandpa and I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I pray that we will all have a wonderful year with happiness, peace and safety for all of our family that is spread out all over the world. We have so many things to be thankful for, especially our family and for the gospel and that we are citizens of this great country, even with all of it's problems it is still the greatest country in the world. We love all of you so very much. :)

Happy Anniversary Jill & Joel

Jill and Joel were married December 21, 1994 in the Salt Lake Temple. We held a reception in their honor here in Salt Lake that evening. Then we all traveled to Canada the weekend after Christmas where another reception was held for them by Joel's family. The weather was just like it is today, alot of snow and cold. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!! on 14 years.

Winter Wonderland in South Jordan

Dad had to break out the snow blower today. We got 3 more inches of snow and more on the way tomorrow. The forecast is for a big snow storm tomorrow starting at about 10 A.M. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. :)

Family Home Evening with Becca & Nicky

We got to tend Becca & Nicky on Monday night while the rest of the family went to the Hale Theater to see "The Christmas Carol". We had a good time with them. We played old maid, hide the timble, made gingerbread boys, put together a big puzzle, and they watched Grandpa play his guitar, and they also had a turn on the guitar. Becca played "Jingle Bells" with Grandpa's help.

Dylan & Kinlee decorated our Christmas Tree

We tended Dylan, Kinlee, Kaitlyn & Christian on Friday night. We had a good time with them. Dylan & Kinlee decorated our Christmas tree and I think they did a good job. We played doubles, old maid, put a puzzle together, and made gingerbread men. The pictures didn't turn out as good as we had hoped but we wanted to put them on anyway. Kaitlyn and Christian had a good time playing on the floor. Christian can crawl very fast and can even stand alone for a few seconds. I predict that he will be walking before he is one year old.

Our new great grandson, Luke !

Grandpa and I were able to see and hold our great grandson, Luke last night for the first time. He is extremely cute and sweet, not to mention he smells great also. Brandon & Camille are a bit sleep deprived right now as we all know what an adjustment it is for new parents when they bring the baby home from the hospital. We were remembering how it was for us when we brought little Luke's grandmother, Ellen home from the hospital. Brandon & Camille are going to be wonderful parents. What a cute little family. We were also able to see the nursery first hand. I thought it was fun to see how they have his little jackets and hats hanging up on the pegs on the wall in his room. :) CONGRATULATIONS!!! to the new parents and all the grandparents.

Happy Birthday Grandma Kendall

Today is my Mother, Hannah Morley Kendall's birthday. She would have been 91 today. She is 21 or 22 years old in this picture. It is in front of her Mom & Dad's house in Moroni on Duckspring Drive. It is a white adobe house and is still standing. Mom was an excellent seamstress and an even better cook. She always had cookies ready for when anyone came to visit. She would make them and my Dad loved to hand them out to everyone. She died on September 28, 2007. I miss her more than I thought I would. She taught me alot of good things.
