Ma famille à Noël



Christmas = Christ, family, friends, Skyping Tony in Belgium, Alex who comes home and grocery bill increases substantially, Victoria who is a cooking wizard and fills house with laughter and fun, Kait who writes Christmas song and plays it on the guitar for my Christmas present, missionary packages,trees, Amazon.com, fireplace and cocoa with an overabundance of mini marshmallows, Stake YW Leader Christmas Open House, plans for sending Christmas cards which dissipate by December 24, lights, Mannheim Steamroller on Pandora, Cleo and Pyper trying to climb the tree, Lizzie going for walks in the snow in her embarrassing orange sweater hoping no neighborhood dogs see her and mock the above-mentioned sweater, enjoying every moment. Life. Beautiful. Ma fille est trés belle et elle me fait sourire toujours.
Ma belle-sœur est trés belle aussi et son rire me fait trop rire.
L'enfant est une joie pour moi!!

A visit from Parisians....

The ward mission leader from Tony's ward in France came to visit. Their beautiful family told us all the details about the life of Elder Hill. Paul, Natasha, Sasha and Elijah were absolutely the most delightful visitors. Niki (and Drew) came to hear all the details. Did she cry...yup! Were we surprised...nope! Tony loves this family and I can see why. Ils sont merveilleux et la gentillesse de passer du temps avec nous sur leurs vacances.

Rugby night

Mon fils est très mince!

Mon missionnaire est très heureux dans la ville de Paris. J'espère qu'il veut venir à la maison un jour!

Sassy women take on Women's Conference

Great time with great women: Aunty Gwyn, ma mère, moi et ma belle fille! We were short one sassy miss - poor Niki home taking care of sick babies.
