Christmas fun + Christmas Eve - 2025!

 We have had many Christmas activities with our Single Adult Ward.  I don't have pics from all of them, but we had a toy drive/white elephant activity, Tuacahn Live Nativity/DQ night and a great Hawaiian Christmas Party. We have had  fun with them.  They are some wonderful people living good lives that have so far not included the marriages they hoped for.   

We went to Trigg and Zade's Christmas Band Concert!  Wonderful!

Juge and Lance hosted a Christmas Adam party (a few days early)!  It was such fun and we had delicious food that everyone helped with!  

Other fun activities:  2 new kids in our class at school didn't have school pics for their ornaments, so I took them so they could have one.  They are cute kids from hard places.  The girl, Harli, drew an amazing picture of Santa's reindeer and sleigh in one writing activity.  The little ornament was made by a child from our ward Primary who has been leaving us  cute things on our porch as a secret grandchild.  

Christmas Eve day we took Bean and went to see the new City Hall.  Really cool mosaic there.  We also went to the new county building and saw the stuff from the Desert Reserve and some statues.  Then we went to the Visitor's Center and saw the amazing stained glass replica from the Rome Italy Temple and the manger scene.  Also, Paul and I have been enjoying my time off school mornings by taking walks to see the sunrise and the beautiful Christmas lights, etc.  

More Christmas Eve fun - we had a delicious dinner of roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, roasted carrots and rolls.  All Delicious.  Then we did some Christmas light looking.  We actually started the night before and used the Hedgehog Electric map to find some very beautiful light displays we would have otherwise not found!  Then we went again on Christmas Eve. After that we came home and had our traditional gingerbread with whip cream dessert.  Merry Christmas Eve.
