Gift to Jesus Tag - Thanks Tiffany and Janessa

What gift can I give you for Christmas this year?
What gift can I give to bring love and good cheer?
What gift can I give you to tell you I care,
A gift you’ll remember, a gift we can share?
The gift that I’ll give can’t be bought in a store,
It doesn’t cost money—it’s worth much, much more!
The gift that I’ll give doesn’t come from a shelf.
The gift that I’ll give is a gift of myself!
The gift of charity, the pure love of Christ.
The best gift that we can give this holiday season.
Tag Rules:1.) Post this tag on your blog.
2.) Between now and Christmas do a secret service for someone in need.
3.) Tag everyone!!

Doug had Cataract Surgery

We have had a busy month. On Tuesday Doug had Cataract Surgery and it went really well. He is really happy to be able to see more clearly. We are both very grateful. He gets to go back to school today.
He might have surgery on his other eye in about a month.
Modern medicine is so very amazing. Thank goodness for eyes!

I Love our Young Women

Last night was our Young Women in Excellence. It had to be postponed twice and finally we were able to have it. It went very well. Each year we have a Power Point Presentation of the whole year. I love putting it together but making sure the equipment works stresses me to the max. I need to write down all the hints I have learned each year so next time it will be less stressful.
This is a picture of some of our Young Women decorating for our Branch Christmas Party. I left my battery home last night so I wasn't able to get any pictures. Thank goodness one of the Mother's brought her camera and saved the day.

Thanksgiving

We really enjoyed Thanksgiving. It was very relaxing and we invited Rosa Garcia to join us. She is Doug's wonderful Aide at school. We had the works, the only thing I didn't make that we usually have was cranberries. They are not Doug's favorite. We had a great time visiting with Rosa and getting to know her better. She is a very sweet person.

I spent a lot of time thinking about our family gatherings of years gone by. I'm so glad that we lived near our extended family for many years so that we were able to enjoy big family get togethers. I'm grateful for all of the wonderful warm memories.
The day after instead of hitting the stores Christmas Shopping like we have done most years, we Rug Doctor'd our carpets. It was so wonderful to get that done.
On Saturday we took a break and went to the new James Bond Movie and bought a new rug for our Living Room.
