Hill Cumorah Pageant

In the planning for a long time, we finally were able to take our friends, the Pascual's, to New York so they could see the Hill Cumorah Pageant for the first time. We drove up the night before, picked up Joshua from Towson, and rested in Pennsylvania near the New York border. In the morning, we visited the Aaronic Priesthood Restoration site in Susquehenna and the David Whitmer Farm in Fayette, NY, where the church was organized. In Palmyra, we toured the Joseph Smith home and walked through the Sacred Grove. We met Richard Wilson and his daughter, our friends from Vermont. After dusk, we watched the Hill Cumorah Pageant under a chilly sky. Then we drove all the back to Maryland overnight.

Christmas in Utah

This Christmas we decided to fly Breeze Airlines from Dulles Airport to Provo, UT. And it was a breeze. We were able to see Grace performance her dance. Afterwards, she and her siblings had a photo op with Santa. We also were able to attend Sofia's Christmas concert at school. Can you see Sofia? Our long-awaited family group photo at the Utah State Capitol turned out beautifully despite the cold. Thanks, Veronica, for taking the photos. We are grateful for the time we had to spend time with our family during Christmas and New Years Eve.

It was our first year of enjoying our first hybrid car. Having to add gas only once a month has simplified life and made it all worthwhile. We share our gratitude of these many blessings and hope that you, the reader, will have received lots of blessings as well this past year and many more in the coming year.

2024 Chinese New Year

For the 2024 Chinese New Year, Year of the Dragon, we traveled all the way to DC. Jonathan had surprised Li-Fang on her birthday. Together with Joshua and Jonathan, we went to the Smithsonian American Art Museum for the cultural shows and crafts. Lester, Li-Fang's nephew, met us there. We also walked around the Asian Art Museum and walked to Reren Lamen restaurant for dinner. Yum yum!
