Parable of the Plumeria

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Just Kidding

Snow was hauled in to the PCC, right before Christmas .

 It lasted about 30 minutes. 

This is the BIGGEST box of Christmas chocolates I have ever seen. 

Count on the Tongans to go big. Those are OUR two Tongan Sisters in the back row.

Elder Cameron and Wally, his new pool buddy, from California.

 He is 92 and our landlords step-dad.

Wally got bored with all the Christmas preparations 

the girls were doing, so he showed up at our door, daily. 

Q: What does the Statue of Liberty have to do with the Nativity?

                             A:  Absolutely nothing!                                                                                                  I was being a really good angel, standing on the sofa,

 with a christmas tree skirt around my neck,

 and the decorations hanging in the back,

 were somehow, perfectly hung. 

The shepherd is holding me steady with his staff.

 Ainsley, as a wise man. 

(She looks like "Lawrence of Arabia".)

We spent Christmas Eve with the Daniel Family from our Sunset Branch.

They have four children and a dog named Pineapple.

We had waffles with three kinds of fresh fruit and whipped cream.

Ainsley, Te'a, Cruz and Briar in their really hot pajamas from grandparents in Utah.

This is our YSA Sacrament Meeting, on Christmas Day.

The Rec. Center doesn't open on holidays,

 so we met in the Branch Presidents home.

Most of our kids were with their families.

 It was truly a very special meeting. 

Aloha and Happy New Year
