DAY 315

This is my good friend Tami...I admire her so much..she won't be happy that she got posted but...she is strong and will deal...if this was the worst thing that she has had to deal with lately she would be happy about that! She didn't want to cooperate and give me just a plain ole posed smile so she gets the "food in the mouth" shot...(hey it's a holiday party so it is allowed!)

Now I have embarrassed her by keeping the camera clicking...

She does have an infectious laugh because she has such a wonderful heart full of love...she doesn't think so but I know so!

Here she is...I love Tami because she is real and her problems are real. She is the kind of person that has such a capacity to love, be empathic, spiritual, and selfless. Tami has had more challenges given to her than is fair for one person..but you would never know it...she loves the Lord and from that she shares that celestial love and joy where ever she goes...Thanks Tami, I hope if I ever grow up that I will be half as good as you...you are a wonderful example for all...

DAY 316

Perry 5th Ward Christmas PartyMeet the King of Bling with the Burger King crown...it was difficult to take ole Doc serious when he refereed to his other King side kick as Hugh Hefner..I guess the purple robe, tall good looks added to that concept...
King Hugh

(ah...hum..is that a diaper on

your head dude?)
Here we have a smiling Mary and Joseph, just traveled many miles, in labor, no place to stay, shunned by many, just gave birth in a dirty stable and still they are smiling....what a great example!
All the primary children sang which always pulls at the heart strings...
But I think Sam's face says it all...I love this kid he has the best expressions...
It was a fun morning and a great way to kick off the holiday season by remembering why we have this season of giving and why we honor our Lord and Savior!
And as Brother Perry said "we got the Ward Christmas party out of the way early! "

DAY 317 GOBLE PART II

The adventures of turkey Tom continued from yesterday...Looking mighty tasty...22 other people hanging around trying for a taste...

Ready to take the stuffing out....hot and steamy!
(ok just put a fork in me and call me done)

Good to the bone...or is that bad to the bone?
(I didn't mean for you to take me literally with that fork business...)
(...you people are vultures!!)

Going for the good stuff...
(call it what you want but I am done and out of here)
or
(bite me!!!)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
