About 40 years ago, while on his mission, Paul taught a family the Gospel in Holland.
The oldest son, Roel Kloosteboer, was 5 years old. Since that time Roel married Barbara,
had 5 children, moved from Holland to England; and just moved to the Denver area.
Their 2 oldest girls, Yasmina, and Krista will be starting at LDS Business College in SLC.
So the whole family is staying with us for a week or so while the girls get an apartment and settled in.
Here are a few pics and videos.

Macey and Jewelia
This was Macey's first year to make
her own house.
She really did a great job.

We are so blessed to have
6 of our grandkids living close by.
We love to do fun things with them.
They did a great job on their houses.
Paul and I wish ALL of our 12 (soon to be 14)
grandkids lived close by too.
Below is a short video of Macey, Jewelia and our
Dutch friend Roel Kloosteboer was
helping Macey.

Red Hat Christmas party

We had our Annual Red Hat Christmas party
on Wednesday.
A good time was had by all!
Instead of exchanging gifts with each other
we donated toys to the Marines Toys for Tots.

Caleb's Christmas program

This morning I went to Caleb's second grade
Christmas program dress rehearsal.
Above is a picture of us girls.
There are 4 second grade classes in Caleb's school.
I thought they did an excellent job on all of
the songs.
Of course Caleb played wonderfully.
