Christmas 2008 West Family & Rusnell Family Building Hygiene Kits

Christmas Day 2008

For Christmas this year the Rusnell and West families decided that rather then give each other gifts we would spend the money on items for hygiene kits for the LDS Church and those that will need them. This was a very special day and by having our kids participate we hope they got a sense of the true spirit of Christmas. 

It's a Disco Christmas for the Grandparents

We never new the Grandparents had such talent.

Jo Jo's World - Sunday Night at the Rusnell's

The kids decided to put on a show and they called it Jo Jo's World. Hope you enjoy.

Hundreds of Geese at the ponds near our home

Hundreds of geese flocked to the ponds hear our home this evening and I though it would be great to get it caught on camera. The ponds are a stones throw away from our home in Kaysville. The kids love to come down and play. This time of year the pond is half frozen and lots of ducks and geese like to come and hang out. Enjoy.

Lauren's Christmas Dance Recital

Lauren did a wonderful job at her Christmas recital. This is the last dance number and if you look close you can see her right in the middle. We had a great time watching her.

Here is Lauren in her Christmas dance recital. She did so well and we are so proud of her. We can't believe how big she is getting. Mom put makeup on her and it made her look a few years older, but she had a blast.

Family Visit to Temple Square

It really is a blessing to live so close to Temple Square, especially this time of year. As you can see we had a great time visiting during the Christmas season. The Spirit is strong and it provided our family an opportunity to get away from the cares of the world. What was really special was being able to sit in front of the statue of Christ and simply look and wonder at scene. It really is something special.

Family Home Evening - "Ginger" bread houses

Well, this is starting to become a bit of a family tradition. Each time this year we spend one of our Family Home Evenings making gingerbread houses. Actually they are made out of gram-crackers and a bunch of candy. I think this years winner was Tyler. We were all impressed by his creation.
