Christmas in Edmonton 2012

What a wonderful Christmas celebration we had! All the Schneiders, Youngs : Hu/Diane/Hugo, Grannie/Grandpa.Christmas Eve was at Schneiders. Great food, wonderful Nativity Pageant performed by the little people with Jordan, Charla, Ruby representing Joseph, Mary, Jesus! And carolling.
Christmas Day dinner was at Hu/Diane's - with prime rib roast beef, turkey with trimmings, a variety of veggies and for dessert - Bouche de Noël. Diane did a superb job of the table settings. The small fry ate in the Family Room. Hugo & David took turns checking on them. Adults dined at 2 tables in the dining/living room. Hu had his 'village' displayed  as well as the Nativity Set. Both looked wonderful. Lovely poinsettias at the tables. Boxing Day all we were treated to a hayride! Fun! The LA gang really enjoyed the snow & we have lots of it. When we went to Church we filled a row & half pew. Nice to be together. There were many festivites among the families. We enjoyed our beautifully decorated home - lights everywhere. Christmas wall hangings all added to a festive atmosphere.
The most beautiful present was "Gigi & Bapa's Book" celebrating our 50th anniversary as members of LDS Church. It is a treasure containing pictures and commentaries by our children, grandchildren & even a page for the greatgrandchildren! Thank you! We have been blessed with a wonderful posterity.
We wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR. We love you all.
