I've been trying to be creative with our grandkid picture for this year's Christmas Card. When we were in Oman I found these Arabian Belly Dancing scarves and bought one for each of the granddaughters. I kept trying to find the boys a prop and finally found these swords at Cal's Ranch in Cedar City when we went up to buy pellets for the stove. Our lives were definately at risk!
Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, we blessed Keith and Ashlie's little Vance. I took advantage of the gathering and got a family picture. I can't look at it with out feeling that choking feeling. I am so very blessed!
Thanksgiving was great. We cooked together for about 7 hours then ate for about 3 days! A favorite moment was during dinner when everyone was enjoying the fruits of our labor I found Leah and Eden at the fridge looking for hard boiled eggs. That's what they wanted for Thanksgiving. They settled for ice cream sandwiches.

I never thought I would actually go to Jerusalem, even though it has been a lifelong dream and desire. I took this from the Mount of Olives. You can see the old walled city in the middle of the photo. The whole foreground is a cemetary. The shiny gold "Dome of the Rock" in the middle of the photo is built on the sacred ground that the Muslims believe is the place where Abraham was going to sacrifice Ishmael, and the Jews believe was the site of Solomon's temple. The city is huge compared to the small part in the middle that we think of as Jerusalem.
