This blog starts with the approach of Christmas 2008.

We left Magnolia on Dec. 14 headed for Andy and Krista's in Apple Valley, UT. Here's a greeting we received in Flagstaff, AZ.

We made it to Andy and Krista's, and found more snow.

Mike, Katie, Logan, and Ivy joined us, and we all drove up to Liberty, UT, where we rented a log home for Christmas week. The first day there we lucked out finding a Christmas tree...drove to a tree farm where the owner drove us out to the trees in a horse-drawn sleigh. Later back home we strung popcorn and made colored paper chains for decorations.
