Yesterday we took a quick trip to Fillmore, Utah, and saw the lava tubes. We met our son and his family there and enjoyed some exploring. There wasn't a lot of time but we enjoyed being there a little more than an hour before we needed to go home.  The next picture is taken from the top of a big hill that is the edge of the crater. We're looking at the crater: Here is a lava tube:

 So we managed to stuff a lot of Christmas activities into one Friday evening and Saturday. Here are some pictures from all our good times. First, the Butterfly Biosphere: Next was the Living Nativity with live animals: An angel singing Silent Night: Followed by hot chocolate that wasn't too hot. The next day we made graham cracker houses: This was followed by sledding: The two-year-old sledder who amazed everyone with the way he kept going: Then we went to the Giving Machine: A few weeks later, we took Milo to our ward Christmas breakfast, then celebrated Jan's birthday the next day: On the 23rd, we took David's children to the Church History and Art Museum which had tons of fun children's activities, wasn't crowded, and kept the children busy for a couple of hours. It was awesome! This guy was very entertained moving things around: Then on Christmas Eve, we re-enacted the nativity: It was a fun month!
