A little before 5 am I jumped out of bed to get ready and go pick up the grandkids from the Temple Annex. I made the Royale frosting and put together the first house. It was the lightest shade of gingerbread and I was worried about how soft it was. Well my instincts were right. The gingerbread was so soft the weight of the frosting broke the roof down. Maybe I didn't wait long enough for it to get hard either. Since I was in a hurry I told myself I would have the kids put their houses together and then go play for a bit and come back to decorate them. Yup......
The joy in seeing and being with these children is immeasurable. They bring such love to my heart.

| On the temple grounds with the Solera family and also Ernesto's sister and daughter |
Ernesto came with his sister Joycelyn and her daughter Asenath. In my mind I was thinking what I could put in another stocking as I didn't have one for Asenath. Joycelyn went on a mission to Boise, Idaho and knew English very well and so does her daughter. It was nice because I wasn't sure how well I was going to communicate and now she could translate.

| I took them on a quick tour of the dental clinic (Sister Stewart gave the a present which Andrei is holding) |

| I told them I expected all of them to be missionaries when they grew up, so here is a before picture |
While waiting for them all to arrive, I noted that many of the patrons held tickets for the 7 am session and in my mind I thought the parents would have to wait for the next session and so in my mind the time table was a little longer.........you know what they say about assumptions...........
