Pre-Christmas fun

Snow was the attraction for my "Southern Belles". Brooke, Kristin, and Chylee made the most of it minutes after they arrived in Provo. Unfortunately Chylee's picture got lost in cyberspace. I don't get this blogging thing, yet!
Shayne found his voice on the WII at Laura's, as did Connor, Mychaela, Chyanna, and the rest of the gang. I knew there was a musical whatever lurching inside him somewhere.
Cherae helped Clayton and Carson decorate their Christmas Box at the BYU Christmas Party. The Christmas season begins for our family at that annual party. Clayton, Carson, Danny, and Cole visited Santa, but Cole shared something with Santa that had Santa respond with a firm salute and a "Yes, sir!". Too bad it was only for Santa's ears!

We're back! Spent five weeks in Northeast states and Sheldon took a few pictures. 2000, aren't you excited to get started? Really I'm going to show you my five favorites.

Nova Scotia - a land of seamen, fishing boats, lobster cages, and lighthouses.

New Hampshire - loved the "rough necks of the northeast" (as they say in Massachusettes), trees, pumpkins, dirt roads, and covered bridges.

Vermont is color, color, color! Enjoyed visiting Bro. and Sis. McKinnon at the Joseph Smith Birthplace Memorial in Sharon, VT.

Always have wanted to visit Plimoth, (the real spelling of Plymouth). Was not disappointed at all!


On Cape Cod Frank, Karilyn, Sheldon, and I are enjoying a monster, huge, large, colossal, pink lobster roll. That is not ice cream. The lobster roll consists of one hot dog roll, mayo, and 5 lobsters.
Aren't you glad I'm in charge of sharing pictures?
