Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas a day late! I hope everyone had a nice day yesterday. I'm in the Phoenix area where we have all gathered at my daughter Amy's house. Elizabeth flew in from the Salt Lake area. My brother flew in from California. It's been so wonderful being together as a family, which for me is what the holiday's are all about.
I've been most happy kissing on my grandson's faces.
Isaak is 3 and for the first time seemed to really understand what Christmas is all about.


Noah will celebrate his first birthday in about a week. He's been sick with a cold, and yet he was a happy boy, enjoying all the noise and attention.

My favorite present of all was being able talk to my son Scott who lives in Brooklyn, New York via web cam. What great technology! This is the first time in Scott's life I have not had him home for Christmas and I was really missing him! My son in law has a web cam on his lap top and connected us up.

For an hour it felt like we were all in the same room. Well..almost. We laughed and shared Christmas memories from times past.

One of the things we missed the most was having Scott join us in playing board games. Next time we thought we'd set up a web cam in his chair and he could still play with us via the net.

We love you Scott!

I am thrilled to report that Santa brought me a new camera! I am so happy! It's just like the one I got last Christmas, and somehow lost (or had taken?) at Disneyland a few months ago.

My memory card will hold 1,000 pictures which I plan to promptly fill up with the beautiful faces above.
