It's Christmas time again on Temple Square. We are so fortunate to be here for two holiday seasons. The snow and the lights on the cedar of lebanon were so beautiful. The cedar is lit only every other year.


It is so wonderful to see the temple surrounded by the lights of Christmas.

Thank goodness for pansies. Even in the winter they grow and bloom until Spring.

We loved the Coburn's halloween costumes. James and Samuel octopuses and Alenda and Maryanna were jellyfish. Cute, cute. My costume was an orange blouse and a black suit. Such is life.

My sister Marla had health problems and was air lifted to the University of Utah Medical Center. It was great to see her family even under dire circumstances.

Bill and Dee Lugo from Chico visited and stayed with us for a week. They had a great time exploring Salt Lake City. When Elder Millet and I went to California before we were married Elder Millet stayed with them - since we both could not stay at his big, two-story house. Every night Dee would call and say, "Brother Millet it's time to come home."

We were working and the phone rang. Sister Estes said, "The Parkers are here to see you." It was delightful to visit with Myrna and Bob from Bellingham.

Aleisha made a short trip to California with her friend and stopped in for a kiss and a hug.
