2007 - It started snowing during our family Christmas party! It was so beautiful, but it prevented us from driving to Salt Lake City to take our gifts to the children's hospital that the family donated. We ended up taking them Christmas day when it wasn't snowing.
This is Annalynn on Christmas 2007!
With a snowstorm the other day in Northern Utah, and more to come this weekend it really is starting to look a lot like Christmas. Annalynn accompanied her sisters and parents to the Utah/Wyoming Wasatch Mountains the weekend after Thanksgiving to pick out and cut the family Christmas tree. It is one of their family Christmas traditions.
After that tree gets home, Annalynn enjoys helping decorate it. Her other favorite thing to do is open presents!
Last year at their house the Christmas spirit was so alive. Annalynn told me that her favorite Christmas was probably last year -2007. Only a few months after her Leukemia diagnosis it was amazing to see how the community and neighbors really helped make Christmas warm and special for her family. It will be a memorable Christmas for all of us for a very long time.
Merry Christmas from Annalynn!
