Our first Christmas away from our family would have been really hard, but...  
Thank Heaven for Skype!
We have been able to share special events with our children and grandchildren even though we are a thousand miles away!
Our traditional Christmas family home evening for 2010 was held in our daughter's home in Ogden.  Heather and Steve had their computerr set up in the front room and we were able to "join" them!!!


Everyone enjoyed the usual visiting.
