We took great joy in having Ashley spend the weekend with us. She is such a special girl and just did not seem to mind that she was with her "doting" grandparents or perhaps the "doty" grandparents. The highlight of our time spent with her was our day on Temple Square with Aunt Arleen for the Annual Lighting of the Square. Aunt Arleen added special tidbits to the tour that she has learned about while on her mission. Ashley literally danced around the square and took great joy in looking at all the nativities. We had a early evening lunch at the Lion House and came out just when the lights burst forth. What an evening we spent viewing the lights - Ashley and I both liked the white and orange lights the best. I know "orange".... but there was something just so majical about the reflection just as evening was ascending upon the square. Our evening came to an end with our going around the west end of the tabernacle to feast our eyes upon the spectacular life size navity with the full view of the Christus in the North Visiters Center. It was almost more than one could take in and certainly a wonderful evening to end our day.
The next day we were able to meet up with Kay Lee for a huge hug, lunch and shopping for Gina who is quite ill. Kay just hugged Ashley as if she had known her all her life. We ended our Ashley visit with visiting her apartment and giving her hair a slight darkened look. As I have mentioned before we take great joy in our posterity.

I'm glad you had such a good time with Ashley. It was fun to see Erma, all the family, but especially you both and Ashley, even if only for a few hours. I'm sure Ashley will always remember this, when I was a freshman, I went to a reunion with my grandparents in Rexburg and it's something I've never forgotten.
That was an awesome day, I wish we could have stayed longer.
