EARLY CHRISTMAS

We celebrated Christmas early.  It was great to be together again after 18 months of LDS mission serving parents. (Yerevan Armenia) We did it rural Moapa style and even had fireworks thanks to Uncle Robert.


Happiest Girl!

Cousins in Armenia t's 

Newest and most favorite addition to family.
Her name is Taytum!

Lacey, Robert, Bri, Mom Knox and the square paper at the bottom is Troy hiding his cute bald -i-ness I love!

Still Happy!

The gift is a wooden pomegranate carved salt holder. It represents fertility and we could use that in our family. Each family received one.


And this cool hand carved Noah Ark.  Mt. Ararat is on the outside of the boat.  Armenia claims it as their mountain even though it is in Turkey.

Dad got cash for garden soil, wood for mounting his trains and a shed.

Robert and Bri playing with the Ark.

My Mom and Aunties. I am named after 2nd...Diane.

Me and my sisters.

Just posing.

Knox and Kate. 
(Someone needs to teach me how to get the kids in focus. I am not a photog.)

A benefit of living in the middle of no where.
(If you were traveling I-15 in Nevada near Glendale and you saw a show off to the east that was Uncle Robert giving the drivers a show and doing a test run for our own special show...he is awesome.)

When Troy and I got married and left the reception they did fireworks too.

Yep these are the awesome big ones like you can shoot off in Utah now.

So that is how we Jones' do it.

Merry Christmas to all.
