Variations on HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve.   Traditional Potato Cheese Soup, (Tuscan Soup for the more healthy conscious guest), Orange Rolls, lots of dessert and of course the nativity portrayal.  We were thankful for such willing participants - Jensyn, Jannon, Kade, Corban, Blake, Hadley, Sarah, Jeff, Reesa and WENDY!!!  She was the hit of the evening.  She made a wonderful baby Jesus.  Special thanks to Angela for not only taking pictures, but getting them sent to me so quickly.

California Christmas

The Jeffcorns drove to California on Saturday, December 20. There was a wonderful ward choir Christmas program on Sunday featuring Sarah and Dad, accompanied by Mom. 

Wendy has been having so much fun exploring and playing here at 336. She also got to open up her first pair of Christmas pajamas. 

Christmas morning was very relaxed with playing, making food, eating, skypeing and present opening. 

"There never was such a goose"

With the winds of change following the passing of dear Grandfather Cornwall, new traditions were sought for the celebrations of Christmas Day. One said gleefully, "I have the fondest acquaintance named Charles, who has a friend named Bob, who oft has goose for supper on Christmas day." Everyone cheered with delight, "Yes, yes. We must have a goose." Mother checked with the local butcher to make the request. When it was ready, Father went to pick it. Never having cooked a goose, Mother called upon her trusted friend Martha for advice. Stuffed and spiced, the goose dove into the oven for a long winter's nap. It resurfaced golden brown and sizzling. 

Father sharpened his favorite knife and carved the goose with such care. Donned in our gay apparel, we gathered around the festive table. After grace, we raised our forks and ate the first bite all at once.

Father "said he didn't believe there ever was such a goose cooked. Its tenderness and flavor, size and cheapness, were the themes of universal admiration. Eked out by apple sauce and mashed potatoes, it was a sufficient dinner for the whole family."  - A Christmas Carol

Happy Anniversary!

Yeah Robb  - you are the luckiest guy in the world.  Love you Robb and Marybeth.  Happy Anniversary.

First Digital Christmas 2004

This is the tenth anniversary of getting a digital camera. A lot has changed in 10 years (as seen in this video) - except for dad being so fun.
