Moving forward
This year the happiness and joy I usually feel at Christmas is over shadowed by a cloud of grief and numbness. Bonnie would want us to move on and live good lives. This is difficult to do. We were given the advise at the funeral not to rush through the grieving process. With that said I want to post some Christmas pictures and focus on the good in life.
These pics were taken at the Christmas Festival. This was the sweetest Santa I have ever met. He took time with the kids. He asked them what they wanted and then told them to mind their parents and say their prayers. Before they left he said to remember that Santa loved them. I was so impressed.
Some of our dancers danced at the Christmas Festival. They did a great job and were so adorable!!! Here they are waiting for their turn on stage.

Thanksgiving Trip
We spent Thanksgiving up in West Valley this year. We split our time between Grandma and Grandpa Belka's and The hospital with the Stewart family and sweet Bonnie. It was a tough holiday because of Bonnie's illness. She is currently still up at the U of U Hospital fighting to live. Her stability continues to weaken but she hasn't left us yet, and many of us still have hope. We appreciate the fasting, prayers, thoughts and good wishes from many of you. It gives us so much strength so thank you.
Nate is sitting in The "king" chair at the table (grandpa's chair) He made this Indian head dress in preschool and insisted on bringing it to Thanksgiving dinner. It is a wonder that it made the 5 hour drive.
We went over to Aunt Kathie's Thanksgiving night and they had the game Rock Band. Everyone had fun jamming out.
Mom is in the upper left corner picture playing games with the kids. She is such a good grandma and made a tasty thanksgiving dinner! Thanks Mom, she also spent a lot of time tending kids so I could go to the hospital with Clay. I am so grateful for family!!!!!!!Byron and Natalie had a jam session. I don't know how I missed out on all the musical talent in the Family?
Grandpa's zip line
This is a big hit with many of the fearless grand kids. My dad has this zip line in his back yard.
Isn't that smile worth standing out in the cold waiting at the end to catch the soaring child?
