Christmas night at the Twin Pine Ranch 2009

Many pictures of individuals are not included but those included are intended to document the fact that we did have the family here for dinner, a pageant, group singing, a program, and generally just enjoying each others company. We realize not everyone in the extended family could make it and want them to know they were missed. Having the family together really means a lot to Norda and me, so thank you to all who attended and/or participated!

  2. I have to agree with Jake - another in a long line of Best Christmases ever. Even though it looked like Samuel was hit by stones, he survived to prophesy again next year. Can't wait to have the Beit Emmett's back - maybe they'll bring better skiing conditions with them. Thanks dad for the photos and to mom who once again pulled off a spectacular feast on Christmas and spend most of her 'spare' time making Æbleskivers. They were delicious!
