New Years Eve Snow

Amy was not so sure she liked being outside in the snow.

 

 

 

Esther was happy inside all snug and warm.

 

Amy & Esther

I spent a few days with Christina and her family. I took this photo of Amy and Esther in their matching outfits.

 

Here is a photo of Esther in a Christmas outfit that Amy wore. Esther is getting so big.

 

Christmas morning

Ben, Shera & Rylee came over on Christmas Eve. We talked and Christmas morning we waited to see what Rylee thought of her presents. She got a little baby doll stroller.

 

 

New car

We bought a 2011 Honda CR-V which is 4WD and should be good on gas. It will give me something to drive when Bruce is gone. He will be working 3 days in Delta starting on Monday. This is a photo Shera took with me holding Rylee at the parking lot of the BYU Art Museum. We went and saw the Block and Tissot exhibits on the Life of Christ.

 

Jan, Aunt Verna & Geneaology

Jan and I went to visit Aunt Verna who lives in Holladay with her daughter Debbie and son Jeff. Jeff was there and we talked for several hours. Aunt Verna is still sharp and told some stories about Olsen ancestors.

 

I took a photo of her pictures of Ane Jensen and Jens O Pedersen (Petersen) who came across on the Willie Handcart company with their 6 children (all under the ages of 12) in 1856. They all survived the ordeal. I have run into several people who are decended from people on the Willie and Handcart companies. Tami Phillips gave me a book to read about the Willie and Martin Handcart companies called the Price we paid by Andrew D. Olsen.
