The Mesa Temple Christmas Lights
The Native American Dancers performed and the Nativity.
The Grandkids and their Mom.We saw a wonderful musical show too.
Each year we visit the beautiful lights at the Temple. The Nativity scenes and Wiseman on their Camels.Thousands of lights.
Christmas Eve Traditions
We celebrated with our homemade soups Potato, Tortilla,and Chicken Noodle,fresh rolls, plus lots of goodies. We celebrated Jesus Birthday with a cake made from cupcakes.
We played the DVD Joy to the World, for the Nativity this year and didn't dress up.The first time in all my life time, we didn't act out the Nativity.Then we played the chimes,a wonderful tradition, where everyone holds a lead pipe cut different lengths to make the different notes.We hit the pipe with a really large nail to hear the sounds. Yes,we had music to follow.It was enjoyed by the youngest and oldest.
We played the game Mr.& Mrs.Wright, where I read the story and you pass the gift left or right when you hear it in the story.It was fun the children did it first and did quite well keeping up with the story.Then the Adults tried it. Aftger we did the White Elephant gift exchange.I ended yo with a extra large remote control for the TV.Ron had a set of push up weights.

What do we can in Arizona?
We don't have any berries fruit except Oranges,Grapefruit,Lemons and Limes here to can. We freeze the juices from the fruit in December when they come on.So I bought a Pressure Canner for my daughter for Christmas and we have been canning. I Canned 40 lbs of raw Turkey at 37 cents lb.Produced 10 large quart bottles. Then I canned five bottles of raw chicken breast cut in strips.Here are the photos.They turned out wonderful for food storage.She canned sweet and sour pork dinners and pinto and red beans too with crystallized ginger to prevent the gas when eaten.
