Christmas Eve with the Hallows'



It has been an unofficial tradition the last two years to go to daughter, Tana and Nathan's for a nice potluck meal with her family. Fryer's, McIntire's, their dad and I came. It was a simple meal, with buffalo wings, pot stickers and seasoned ground turkey meatballs. They had a lovely slushy drink with Sprite and frozen slushy fruity punch flavored in a punch bowl.


Nathan made the most yummy salsa, just like I love with cilantro, fresh garlic with onions and fresh tomatoes and of course tortilla chips. Everyone seemed to enjoy being there and get together. The kids love being around their cousins, and it was an enjoyable evening. Even though after we ate and it was time to play games, I stayed on the couch half asleep; I had been up since 3:30 am. and had not stopped all day.

I had the privilege to be in the temple first thing this morning. It made my day most enjoyable and without any pressure. It seems like I get so much more into my day when I do service like that. It is a testimony to me how much I get done even though I am SO busy!
