It's Christmas Time with the Morrey's

This Christmas Rich, Beau and I went out to be with Rich's parents in Michigan. It was a lot like Utah in climate and the people in the ward are so nice to us. We were able to talk to David the day before Christmas and he sounds as if he is growing and learning so much. He loves his mission and the people that he is serving. He comes home soon and everyone is very excited to see him again or as the case may be meet him for the first time.
On Christmas Eve we had the missionaries from the LDS Church come over and eat with us. The helped to bring a very strong feeling of peace to the home. One of the Elders was going home in a week and the other had been out for a few months. The ward was kind enough to bring presents for them and so the Elders both had a great Christmas.
Christmas Day dawned on a beautiful white morning we all woke up pretty late because the babies aren't old enough to care. We were able to talk with Rob, who is on his mission in Arizona. It was my first time talking to him as well. He is doing well and is serving with honor. After that came a frenzy of paper and presents. Mom and Dad were kind and thoughtful in the gifts that they gave. I received a camera so that I can continue to scrapbook and record our family's memories. Rich received a guitar and he has been filling the air with music often. Beau was given a bunch of toys that sing and talk and help him learn. But the best part of Christmas was to be with family and know that we will be together forever because of the life and sacrifice that Christ led ad gave.
On the 27th Rich took me and Beau around to see all of his old romping grounds. We went by his past home. There was plenty of ground for all of the Morrey boys to explore and get dirty around the house. I was able to see the fence that they built and the ramps that were constructed by daring little boys. I also had the opportunity to met the Copes, the Powerskis, and many of the Norton's. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and learning more about my husbands past.
