It's Already December, 2015

1. Dad made Sugar cookies with the Scouts. They had a good time, but

didn't take too long to decorate. I think they liked eating better.

2. We had a beautiful week with A. Anne & U. Bob's family. Tuesday we went

to the temple with them and then I had brought everything for Hawaiian

Haystacks and we went to A. Anne's for dinner and visiting.

Thursday night we did a lot of visiting at the viewing. 

I'm so thankful all her children were there. Susan took some

beautiful pictures. There is something about all being together

that brings strength. Here are a few pictures at the cemetery

and the church afterwards. The military honors at the graveside were 

beautiful to see.

Mark had already gone home. 

4. These are his 'dog tags' from the army. There was also one with

the temple on it saying to notify an LDS chaplin or member

in case of an emergency.

5. Everyone but U. Paul. Ralph, me, Margaret, John, Janet, Anne, David

6. and Tammy came up, David came down, Chris & Mike came over.

Ellen came to the viewing. Thank you for your support.

We are having a great conversation with Nathan, U. John's son.

7. Supper that night with Pete's family

8. Then we went to the Old Barn and saw Chris and Mallory and

Uncle Marc in A Christmas Carol.

9. Marion, Steven, Jared, Cecily, Scott, & Isaac came for Friday & Saturday.

So good to see them all.

10. We made lots of candy and it all got eaten or sent home.

We saved 4 peanut butter cups and a very small bag of peanut brittle.

Just like we like.

11. Saturday night we went and saw, "Two from Galilee"

The music was so good. The finale was amazing. 

It was very well done.

12. Sunday we took Josh with us and went and saw John and Steven be

ordained. Spencer ordained them and Dad and Bro. Olsen gave

them a beautiful blessing. We went to their house after

for dinner and visiting. I'm so sorry we didn't get a picture

of the three boys together in their Sunday clothes. 

I get caught up in the moment and forget to take pictures.

Life is good. Even with a death, life is good,

because everything, all our hopes and promises

are with our Savior Jesus Christ. He does not 

let us down. He has given us all and the way

to receive all as we seek Him out.

I know I always say this, but I really do love each and every one of you.

May the Lord bless and keep you.
