Christmas

Here is Marci (who took all these pictures) with Brennan Walker. She is wearing Nate's famous Christmas sweatshirt because he can't be here to wear it.















Hayden, Nikki and Hugo.















A shot of the Walker present opening extravaganza. Nikki, me, Dallas, Lisa, Ginge, Ashley, Madeline and Hayden.



We bought a Wii for Christmas and Hayden and Cole have mastered the ski jump. They are both going to be the greatest skiiers. It also looks like they will have plenty of snow to practice in. We have had a ton of snow this year.





















Christmas at Grandma Walker's. You all probably recognize everyone. Starting with Dave Petersen in the corner, Ginge, Matt, David R., Scott, Laura or Jessica, Mandy, Adam, Mason, Carter, Ashley, Madeline, Hayden and Cole.

This is the littlest shepherd, Cole. This is a picture of our front yard the day after Christmas.

A Few Things of Interest

I have been quilting lately and my neighbor signed me up to be in a quilt guild. One of the first classes I took was a baby blanket with mitered corners. It is harder than it looks and turns out great so that you don't have to do any hand sewing. This blue square blanket is called a Benito Box and it drove me so crazy getting it to square up that I put it away for a few years and then just got it out and finished it. I like it because it is made of total scraps, even the back. So obviously I love to quilt with blue.

I have run across a few funny videos on line so just in case you are in the mood. The first one is bewareofthedoghouse.com and I know I've sent it to my immediate family, but those of you who read other peoples blogs check it out. Also I viewed one this morning on Visiting Teaching and it was cute. So give it a try. visitingteaching.blip.tv/#804254 it would even be appropriate to show in Relief Society. Anyway it's funny because we have all been or had these types of visiting teachers. Have a great week and get that Christmas shopping done.

Nostalgic Pictures

I found a few old pictures the other day and thought a few of you might like to see them.
I don't know why some of the turned out small because they all looked the same size on my screen. But I will try to adjust or fix them. If you have any ideas about how to change the size of the pictures. let me know.

Grandma and Grandpa Walker in Iran.

This picture is so small I can't tell who is in it. It appears to be Scott, Justin, Courtney and Leslie Walker.

Percy Smith and I think one of Sid's kids.

Nate, Karen, Dave, and Marci in front of 429.

This picture was at Craig's blessing. Jan, Mom, Craig, Dad, Keith, Jill, Karen and Jennifer.

I don't know how to get the pictures and words together right. I guess I need more practice. They look one way in the Post window and another on the blog, so bear with the crazy captions. Please let me know if you have any information about dates or people who appear in this post and I will fix any inaccuracies.
