Fred left for an R.T. conference yesterday near San Diego, so that all 3 of the R.T. directors (California, Utah, Boise) could be together and Fred could get some insight into how the other two are running things. He called last night and said that he could see Disneyland out of his hotel window. We all wish we could be there with him.
Lori invited us to her stake for their annual live nativity last night. Marg and Liz and her children also came. It is outdoors and the back field is lit by hundreds of candles covered with white bags. The youth dress up and put on a sweet and simple walking tour of the city of Bethlehem where you meet the roman soldiers, the innkeepers, the shepherds, angels and of course Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus. Each year there is a live camel near "the inn", which is so memorable for the little children. It was nice to be able to stop in Decembers rush and be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas and be able to visit with family. I'm looking forward to Lori's couples party where those of us in the valley can spend some adult time together before the holidays.
Our high school Christmas concert was last night and the FX show choir (which Jordan is in) peformed 3 dances at the end. It was so much fun to watch him--I wanted to be on stage with them (I'll post pictures when I get them developed). The choir did invite all of the audience members who knew the hallelujah chorus to come up and sing with them; I did and that was fun.
