Christmas
I am suppose to be catching up on this blogging. I will try and get Christmas done before Valentines Day arrives. Our Christmas really was the cruise, but Lily still got a little something from Santa. I love that she still believes. It was kind of sad that none of our other children are living…
Lilyisms – Ornament Helps the Stink
I gave Lily a big hug this morning only to be surprised by a powerful aroma. I asked her why she smelled the way she did. “I used ornament. My armpits were stinky.” She replied flapping her arms in a chicken wing fashion while sniffing her armpits. Then she added “I used Dad’s ornament.” So…
Feeding the Missionaries
We had the honor of feeding the missionaries, from our church, Wednesday night. We had Elder Lindquist from Sweden and Elder Vogt from California, sitting with us, at our table. They were a delight to talk with. They were so excited for Christmas Eve as they were the ones chosen to deliver all the gifts from…
Merry & Bright
After a hard week of losing Grandma Smith, this past week has been all fun. Starting off with the UDSF Salt Lake Tooele Christmas party hosted by Jessee Clapier, brother to Kecia Cox. It was fun to see old friends, dance, and eat yummy cookies! Next up we went to the home storage cannery of…
Tell Me Why Santa Brought THAT Toy
Christmas was good this year. I think everyone was happy with their loot and being with each other for most of the day (which is very hard for 20 year olds!) I love to see the excitment on their faces when they open that special box. The one thing they really wanted. He didn’t ask…
Christmas Eve and the Robber

The cousins exchanged Christmas ornaments. They will all have a wonderful collection when it’s time to decorate their own tree. Since my sister’s death in…
A Christmas Post Without Pictures!
My main computer is getting rebuilt for Christmas so I have put off blogging because I have no pictures! But it’s been long enough so I will use clipart for now. Lily and I LOVE READING about all the cute babies; Jaxson and Arina, Sweet Ella Grace (who Lily informed me is very bald!?!), Parker,…
Dab Nab It!
My camera battery went dead at the Utah Down Syndrome Christmas Party! I got one picture of Lily and her boyfriend Skyler and then it went dead. No pictures of Jaxson & Arina, Bree, Cheytrell, Ben, Justin, Ruby, Desirae, Isaiah, Daisy – NONE! Zero! Zip! Nada! I have been around to see these individuals grow…
Time With Lily
Yesterday Lily and I had a mommy daughter date. We went to the Festival of Trees. We looked at all the beautiful wreaths, gingerbread houses and trees. We ate scones, cinnamon rolls and cotton&candy while watching dancers leap across the stage. If was a wonderful time and much needed. This gingerbread house was decorated by…
