Dear Family and Friends,

Well Christmas is finally upon us. We thought that we might be golfing on Christmas, but boy oh boy the weatherman was right for once. Last night the snow began and it didn't stop until early this morning and when it was done we had at least 10 inches on the driveway. It was absolutely beautiful and I didn't even mind shoveling it. Yah I know, I wouldn't want to do it every morning! But Pam and I have pretty much gotten everything ready for our solo Christmas. Of course Pam and Erin decorated our beautiful tree almost a month ago and it is still wonderful to look at, especially at night.




During the next couple of weeks Pam continued decorating in the house and outside and I finally got on the ladder and put the new lights (LED) on the gutters and they look pretty good.





This morning I finally got some warm clothes on and went out to survey the whiteness. It was just beautiful and you hardly wanted to make a mark in the snow. As the cars and trucks went by it was so quiet. But I finally began shoveling and this is what everything looked like this morning.













With the path around the north side of the house Sidney now has a path to the deck or I should say under the deck. But he has pretty much enjoyed the garage for the past few days as it has been quite cold. We have even let him in the house on and off!!!

We have enjoyed just looking outside and seeing everything so white and beautiful. I would imagine that Denver is getting the storm today. We surely hope every one has a great Christmas Holiday and that you are enjoying the messages and music of the Savior and this special time of the year. Pam and I were able to see the Tabernacle Choir Christmas Devotional a week ago and it was magnificent. Well have a wonderful time in your individual homes and we will miss you all. Look forward to visiting with the family on Christmas Day!
