WOW!

The only thing to survive on the interior after the Provo Tabernacle fire:

Now that's a Christmas Miracle!!!

We drove by the Tabernacle Sunday night. It's so sad. The walls are still standing but it's an empty shell! Well, except for the 9 feet of debris inside!!!

The smell of fire was still in the air. Just so sad!!!

Be sure and listen to the song that I posted in the next post!

To Quote Linus Van Pelt: "That's what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown!"

Santa Baby!!!

Today was the Ward Christmas Party!
Santa didn't traumatize ALL the kids!
Some liked sitting on his lap!
Some asked for a ride in his sleigh!
I love the little kid sitting at Santa's feet!!!
When Santa first arrived a little tiny girl, I'd guess under two, ran up and gave Santa a hug! It was adorable!!! They had little bells on strings at the tables and when Santa got there a bunch of little kids took the bells to Santa!!! Hilarious!!!
Lots of crying kids!!!
Santa can be very traumatizing! I was traumatized by Santa once or twice!
When I was much younger, I was sitting in Primary, minding my own business! Nellie Holguin was my teacher. Unfortunately I was sitting next to the door when someone knocked on it, so I got to answer it!!! Much to my trauma...I opened the door to find Santa Claus leaning down to my height. Scared me to death!!!! Not a big fan of people in costumes!!! What made it worse was Santa had my mother's eyes!!!!
One little girl gave Santa her letter! This isnt' the little girl, but it is the letter in his hand.
Someone happily sitting on Santa's lap!
More Trauma!!!
My second traumatic experience with Santa: My Mom was Primary President and for the Ward Party the Primary was doing "Twas the Night Before Christmas" The El Rancho Choraleers came to sing while the primary children acted it out!!! Santa didn't show!!! Guess who got to be Santa!!!! The pains of being the Primary President's daughter!!
More happy faces!!!!
Needless to say, when I first saw this Santa...I was actually a little scared! The whole issue with people in costumes!!! I softened up and took him home with me!!!
Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!!!

Great Quote

A friend posted this on Facebook and I thought it was something we should read everyday!
