New Years Day











New Years Day was spent with the Oliver's. We went Eagle watching. Up to 4000 eagles have been seen in the area. We saw 60+. It was great! My camera does not zoom as far as we would like to. Enjoy!

Let it Snow and snow and snow....




The Vancouver area is not used to much snow. It usually snows a couple of times but rain melts it by nighttime. The temperatures are usually pretty mild for here - especially not below freezing. We measured 21 inched on our balcony!

Victorian Christmas







Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were spent in Victoria with another senior couple - the Oliver's. We went to see the lights at Bushart Gardens.
They reminded me of the lights at Temple Square only not as good. We had a great time but fogot everything would be closed on Christmas Day.
We ended up talking and driving around to see the area.

The Real Meaning of Christmas

Being on a misson gives me more time to think of the Savior and the things he has done for me. I thank him daily for a special husband and family. Being able to serve others all day and night gives me a little taste of what he has done for us. I am thankful for the atonement and fthe opportunity I have for repentance. I thank him for the chance of being a "forever family".

It's Christmas Time in the City




Our tree this year was pretty spectacular. It had the best ornaments ever! I couldn't put many gifts around the tree - just the important ones. Thank You Kids!

Red Sky at Night!!


The sky looks as if it were on fire!! We took the picture as we drove home from Chilliwak, BC. As Craig says "Awesome!!"
