The Real Santa!!

Today I met the REAL Santa he came to where I work! I know he is the real Santa not just because he has a real long white beard but because he as a person represents what I think christmas is! Penny told me this story about him and it changed my whole attitude towards the chaos that was this afternoon! One year a mom came up to penny and told her that she REALLY did have the REAL Santa! when penny asked how this mom knew he was the real one the mom told penny this story... One year at christmastime he was running the apartments that she lived in and she was behind on her rent and knew that she couldn't make the next month she was afraid that she and her children would be evicted right before christmas, instead of evicting her he forgave her of her debt and allowed her to live there for 2 months rent free until she was back on her feet! this story really touched me i think that is exactly what santa would do! but I KNOW that this is what Christ would do! and isn't he the reason that we celebrate christmas? isn't this what christmas is all about?

Last night my granny passed away due to a stroke, it was extremely sudden and very unexpected. I love her very much and will miss her. Here are some pictures I have of her.

This is Granny in front of the Montecello Utah temple

Here is granny and I at the arches here in utah when mom and I were driving her to meet Cindy in albequerque and then there is one of mommy, granny, and I that an indian woman took for us. she bought a necklace from them that day.

Here is another one of her in froont of the temple from that same drive.


Granny isnt in this one but it has pictures of the dresses she used to make us when we were little. (this is a calender page that mommy made)

Here she is at mommy and Daddys wedding reception.

These are pictures from when we were little girls the first one is her with annie and jay. the second one I have no clue which baby that is. The last one you can see her in the reflection of the mirror.
