Christmas in Las Vegas

Lisa writes: We went to Las Vegas for Christmas. It's not what you think! Here we are with my niece Madison at Red Rock Canyon before going to my aunt's house for Christmas Eve. What there was: -- Cookies -- Nativity scene reluctantly acted out by small, squirmy children -- Presents -- The Gospel of St. Luke What there wasn't: -- Girls, girls, girls (unless you count me and my sisters) -- Gambling -- Sin (except maybe gluttony)

Joyous Wishes to All ~ Merry Christmas ~ Roy and I send love and joy as we reflect on the blessings of 2011 ~ Our children continue to live as far away from us as they can. So Roy and I can’t retire. We have to work so we can make short visits. :) They are all our greatest joy. ☆ January ~ we visited Donny in Huntington Beach, CA and Rexene got to see the Rose Parade for the first time. “Happy New Year!” (Thank you, Michael) ☆February ~ we traveled to Utah (Logan) to see our Star ~ Christian ~ in “Music Man”. ☆March ~ wonderful week with best friends, Marilyn & Ken McAllister, in Branson. (Picture by Ken). ☆April ~ our Lori, Dave, Cameron, Ava, Benjamin & Evy came to see us from WA. BYU GRADUATION! (Easter weekend) ~ Deb did it! This brought us all our children together in Utah for 3 days. Joy!
