On the eighth day of Christmas . . .

. . . I went to the meeting and Christmas party for the Highland Cascade Springs D.U.P. Camp. We learned about some pioneer Christmases of the past, had turkey and all the trimmings for lunch, and did a cookie exchange. Fun ladies, fun times!


Tonight our ward went to Bethlehem. To enter the city everyone had to pay a tax of canned goods. We were given a sack with coins to buy our dinner at the different food stands.


Believe it our not this is the Rob Morris family (the former #94 of the Indianapolis Colts).

Dr. Pitts made a great Roman centurion.
Mary and Joseph entered the city looking for a place to stay. There was no room in the inn so they went to the stable. The whole nativity story was acted out. I was amazed at how reverent the children were during the story. The spirit was very strong.

It was a night to remember, the best ward Christmas party ever.

What an awesome ward Christmas party! I am also amazed how it is that you always live by football players.

Hey, you're right! Glen Cameron of the Bengals, Steve Young of the '49ers, Jim Kelly and all of those other Buffalo Bills . . . that's really funny.
