Christmas 2009




Christmas 2009 was Magical! The above photos help me feel connected to those family members in tropical Hawaii, while the rest of us celebrated a white Christmas in Utah. Christmas Eve afternoon, Doug and I were joined by Geneal and Oliver for a visit to Grandma & Grandpa Luna's home. Our time together was filled with warmth and love. Then, we met up with Josh and Joseph in downtown Salt Lake City to watch Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life, starring James Stewart & Donna Reed...One of my all time favorites! Later, Doug, I and Oliver made a couple of Christmas deliveries before heading home for our traditional Christmas Eve festivities. On Christmas Day, we had the bulk of our children & grand-daughter, Ella, with us for a formal Christmas Dinner, movie excursion to see Sherlock Holmes, back to our house for gift exchange and dessert. All the gifts were wonderful, but how thrilled we were to receive a tiny package representing a special gift that was on back order from Nanny & Brian. This particular gift wasn't due to arrive until July 26, 2009...A new little grand-baby! We are over the moon about it! 2010 looks like it is shaping up to be a memorable year indeed! Our family will grow to include a new daughter in March, following Joseph & Emily's wedding and a new little grandchild in July! How very blessed we truly are!!! Happy New Year to friends & loved ones all over the world!
