Christmas 2013 is gold and white.
The bells are old but they still play Christmas tunes.
We hang lots of bells.
Papa choose the theme.
And mostly did the work - I was taking finals.
(Yae I did well!)
We decorate with things that remind us of what is most important to us.
 |
| snowflake light |
 |
| where your heart is, there is your treasure |
And family times together.
Like dancing.
Or building snowmen.
 |
| This antique is so old his finish is changing from white to yellow. |
 |
| Cushions - foot and hand print reindeer from mom and wreath from Clala. |
 |
| And OH! how we prized new skates that fit! |
 |
| The comforts of home . . . |
 |
| And see the light is on . . . someone loving, waiting . . . watching . . . |
Naturally there are lots of nativities.
 |
| Made in 1981 while on bed rest. |
 |
| 3 kings on camels |
 |
| from Ben while in Vegas on his mission |
 |
| purchased about 1972 |
 |
| in a walnut nutshell |
 |
| clear nativity |
And lots of angels.
The prophets say angels surround us and wait to help us at all times.
 |
| This angel glows in the dark! |
 |
| Papa has always loved deer and the symbols surrounding them |
God is good.
So many things to remind us.
 |
| Large gold pear purchased in Edmonton Mall |
We love the birds.
I chose to put small gold-framed pictures of my children on the tree.
As they rotate around I think of each one and pray they are happy.
I pray they make choices that build happiness.
Home lives in our hearts and minds.
Happiness is mostly a choice.
It is mostly thinking of good things with gratitude.
Most of our ornaments remind us of what we are thankful for.
 |
| Santa kneels to the Christ child in worship. He shows his faith in kind actions. |
Santa is someone that loves you.
We love you all and miss you.
We are especially thankful for each of you.
