A few things to do before we depart for NYC

With all the family coming home for Christmas, we were busy.  We had so much fun together.  After the last day of school, everyone headed to Disneyland.  Grandma and Grandpa found some great Christmas light necklaces which were a hit with all the grandkids...Fun and useful! We didn't lose one grandchild!
We had 2 full days of riding all the rides, watching parades, eating treats and visiting. Helping 20 bodies maneuver throughout Disneyland and California Adventure is no easy task. Good thing MOST of the group knew the territory inside and out because of having annual passes!  Outside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for a group picture.
 All the adults went to the temple for a special day.  Grandpa is a sealer and we were able to have one of the sealing rooms and we all did work for our family members.  Chloe helped find some of the 30 parents, 30 sons and 30 daughters that we all participated in their sealings.  It is so special when you are doing the work for members of your own family.
 Our Christmas Card photo with everyone in their NYC shirts.  They are all so beautiful. (Can you believe this was a 'first take'?!)
 And a full family photo with all the families.  How we love these children!
The best part of the Christmas season was the Nativity scene put on by our Grandchildren.  Each had a special part. They were reverent and perfect. It's amazing how this tradition has evolved into something wonderful. When they were all very little, it was a ZOO! We love these Grandkids!
