"Hi Elfie thanks for the note.  Can you be a sneaky elf?"

"Hi Elfie I really really really really want make up for Christmas.  I really hope I get it.  To Elfie.  From Presley.

"Here Comes Santa Claus . . . Here Comes Santa Claus!"

Grandma Crossley and Santa came for a visit! The kiddos were all so excited!
One of the gifts that they brought us all were bags filled with water, food, and an inspirational cards.  The kids needed to earn $3.00 each for bread to put into the bags.  Once everything was ready - the kids were look around them for anyone in need.  We are excited to help in this wonderful service opportunity!








We have't been apart of this Christmas tradition because we have lived away from Utah for years - it was such a tender experience to be apart of this this year.  Unfortunately, all family parties have been cancelled due to Covid - but a quick drop off and a sighting of Santa was still special.

My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
