Snow after Christmas
The snow finally came the day after Christmas. It was so cold only Tiara, James and MArtin went out and played.

Dinner with the Eddingtons
I really enjoy preparing Christmas dinner with my sister. We both know what to do and have similar ways of doing things. I miss her much and it was good to see her again.
Isaac is the master of turkey carver. He's been having this task for several years now and we trust his expertise!
Hyrum is very particular about table setting. We're proud of him! What a fine young man he is. His mother taught him well.
Mash potatoes and gravy is not my favorite things. I stick with making pies (chocolate and fresh blueberry). My sister thinks we needed more pies, so she added lemon maringue and pumpkin pies. What a feast! Too bad I can't even eat those yummie desserts! I was so so sick!

Sam with his Sudoku and James is just perfectly happy with one of the packaging materials!
The joy of Christmas morning!

FIRST BOWLING EXPERIENCE
We went to Ohio for Christmas for two weeks. Tanner had so much fun with his cousins and didn't even care if Mommy wasn't around. We went bowling at Brunswick. It was Tanner's first bowling experience.
I need to get rid off those four!
Daddy is helping Tanner and showing him how to do it.
Sam is helping his brother, James. James and Tanner is almost the same age and they fight over the same thing many times.
It's still James's turn.
Tanner is waiting patiently for his turn. Something he quickly learned around his four cousins (Hyrum, Sam, Tiara and James).

Disneyland Thursdays
Our camera hasn't been working properly and we might need to get a new one. There, I found an excuse for not blogging. Another week of school and we'll go to Vegas for Thanksgiving and Ohio for Christmas. Whoo hooo ...
Disneyland Thursday with Mon and Auntie Maly plus our favorite friend there: Mickey.
Tanner is still afraid of Mr. Incredible.
Hang in out at Holywood Street.

The Family: A Proclamation to the World = YES ON PROP 8
I marveled at the blessings of my marriage and wonder why some would want to trade them with something else of its counterfeit. It's like trading their wonderful birth right with a bowl of porridge.
I read this proclamation to the World over and over and grateful for Heavenly Father's love for his children.
The Family: A Proclamation to the World
We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.
All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.
In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.
The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.
We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed. We affirm the sanctity of life and of its importance in God’s eternal plan.
Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.
The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed.
We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.
We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.
