My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

Mark and Sue Heugly








Mark bought me this gigantic Poinsettia..simple Gorgeous



Mark showered me with gifts....But this one

spoke to me on many levels.. It's called a woman's

sacrifice.. It represents the life of a woman of faith, and no matter

what her trials are the Savior is always close by..

Christmas 2010 was wonderful.

We filled it with many festivities that brought us joy and wonder-ment.

2 activities that don't have any pictures but were

memorable was the night we went with our friends Duane and Marci Shaw

to Dinner at Market Street Grill and went to Pioneer Theatre

to see White Christmas..

We had 2nd row seats. It's a timeless Christmas musical

which always gets me in the mood for

Christmas.
=================

Another highlight is when Our son Joe invited us to his Stake sing-along.

It was an hour of singing Christmas Hymns. Members of the stake played instruments. They had duets, and ensambles that were just amazing. Dakota and Emma sang together.

They served refreshments afterwards..

==================

I'm so grateful for all the blessings received this past year. We had a few upsets as most families do. We are confident that the Lord will continue to bless our family as we serve him and try to keep his commandments...

===========

To our Savior Jesus Christ..We celebrate your Birth at this time of year, and

express sincere gratitude for your perfect example of how we should all love one another.

===========

You are the reason for the Season, You are the one who makes our Christmas Merry..

May we ever be worthy of all that thou has given us.
