BYU Chorale was gorgeous!

3-4 horse-drawn wagons of church youth singing carols on a chilly night! The horses come from Europe...France and Belgium

Table before my 48th annual holiday open house. I was too busy talking during the evening to take photos except for one with Kim from our Madrid missionary time. (She was young , I was a senior)

Before Christmas dinner at my house we have a white elephant game

Rebecca liked her ramen bowls. Funniest gift, a framed photo of Ed!

Around the corner are pastures and Mt. Timpanogos covered in snow

New Year's Eve was a dinner and fun karaoke night at the Taylors'!
