HAFF TIME

During our stay with Lindsay & Cameron - Chad & his sweet family came up to DC (about a 3 hr. drive north from Buena Vista, VA where they live) and we all went to see the Christmas lights at the temple. They were gorgeous. As wonderful as the pictures are, they still did not do it justice, there were just so many beautiful lights. Every tree was a blaze of color. What a great way to begin the Christmas season.

It was cold outside - but we had just been in the visitor's center listening to an hour concert of children from 4-18 playing their violins. It was wonderful, but the kids were ready to be up and running around by the end - and so they had fun even though it was pretty chilly.

Love these shots of all of us with the gorgeous Washington DC temple in the background. A constant reminder that we are all striving to be a "forever family".

All because two people fell in love...

Chad, Michelle, Landon, Sydney & Keely stayed for church on Sunday. We were staying with Cameron & Lindsay another week then heading for Chad's house to spend Christmas.

Thank you to Lindsay & Cameron ... and, of course to Colby - who let us come & stay at such a busy time of year & just before they headed out to a Christmas family reunion of Cameron's family in St. Louis! We love you guys! (Don't dad & Colby look good in their matching Christmas ties?
