Portugal's Dedicatory site for Missionary Work

This is the site where a dedicatory prayer was said to open the Portugal area to Missionary Work. This is Adam and other Elders on last weeks P-Day. This site is near his area, not far from Lisbon.

A beautiful day in Lisbon

Adam, a former companion and friend in Lisbon, Portugal. It is amazing how much maturity and spiritual growth Adam has made in one year. What a wonderful blessing.

"It's A Small World"

I wish I could get my video to play of "It's a Small World". The singing is Christmas carols intertwined with "It's a Small World". Only video can do it justice. They are closing this ride for 9 months.

"It's a Small World"

I love "It's a Small World" and it was really fun to see it at Christmas time all decorated for the holidays.

"Nightmare Before Christmas"

The haunted mansion was transformed into "The Nightmare before Christmas". The detail was amazing.

Fun at Disneyland

We had a wonderful time at Disneyland. We loved all of the Christmas decorations.

Santa gave me exactly what I asked for.

My favorite gifts from our children are pictures. We received many wonderful pictures and we are so grateful. We also received gift certificates for Disneyland. Guess where we are going?

Cuddle time

We spent most of the holidays enjoying cuddle time. We had to take advantage of every minute.

Entertained us

Zach and Sara along with their parents entertained us with their musical talents. We love that they are willing to share their abilities with us.
Living away from family does have it's disadvantages and one big one is missing all of the fun concerts and plays that they are in. We love it when we get to enjoy snatches of them in person or through a blog.

Our other 2 gifts from Utah

Rose and Allyson were our other 2 gifts. It was so fun having them, Rob and his family, and Mark and Lilly with us for several days.

After Christmas

After Christmas Rob (Doug's brother) brought us 3 very special Christmas gifts from Utah. Myles (Allyson's son) is one of them.

Christmas 2007

We enjoyed having Mark and Lilly with us for Christmas. Last year after Christmas I went through and really downsized our decorations they were showing their wear. I threw away a bell that was filled with mistletoe. We have hung it in the hall since we bought our house many years ago. Mark wasn't going to break that tradition with or without the mistletoe.

What we do at school

This is what we looked like on our last day of school. We had a District Christmas Party and each school did a skit. Fremont Staff did the "Reindeer Jive".
