12 Days of Christmas!! 2012

 How my children listen to my lessons during Family Home Evening!!!!  Mexico City Mission Home!
                      Tara, Tristen and Tiffany ready for bed with their baby blankets and curlers!!
What's amazing here is  that the girls still have their baby blankets and they haven't completely worn out!!
 We drove from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles.  We thought our kids would be so excited to see where their parents were married!  Their faces say it all!
 A trip to Northern California, stopped at a rest stop for ice cream!  It looks like Dennis is holding my cone.
                                                                      Tasco, Mexico
A Ward Activity in Taylorsville.  I have no idea why they are all acting like monkeys!?
  Telisa and Treavor as we drive to Lake Powell!  They could sleep anywhere and any way apparently!

Our children gave me an incredible gift this year, the 12 Days of Christmas.  It was apparent they spent a great deal of time and effort, as well as, thought into each day.  The gifts were the Gift of Photography- an antique wagon to use in photo shoots, Music- Christmas CD, Joy- Hallmark Christmas Movie, Gratitude- Homemade Thank You Cards, Sleep- special pillow and eye mask, Temple-the girls all met me at the  Temple, Pampering- a pedicure, Beauty- a beautiful pair of Kate Spade earrings, Time- met all the girls for breakfast at Kneaders!! Dance- a hilarious video of ALL my grandchildren dancing to "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson, Memories- a wonderful video of Christmas' past, and a segment of "Then and Now" photos of our 6 kids!!!, Comfort- cozy slippers and sweatshirt!  Above is a sample of the THEN AND NOW PHOTOS!


                                                          They are spelling out KAT!

Love you all so much for your efforts, talents and sacrifice to give me this remarkable gift!!!!  It is forever in my heart!!!
