Wonderful December

December 4, our newest grandchild was born to Jerel and Camille. Meet Ryder Monson Campbell.

This is the whole happy family: Camille, Jerel, Chase.
Tanner, Ryder, Trevor, Jordan.

Christmas day, we got up early and headed to Santa Monica where we spent a short time with Lindy, Jonathan, Ruthie, and Adryan. Ruthie broke her wrist a few days before Christmas!

We then headed to Arizona where we spent the rest of Christmas day with our three kids who live there: Shad, Jodi, Owen, Nya, Riley; Jerel, Camille, Chase, Jordan, Tanner, Trevor, Ryder;
Janel and Tynan.

Saturday night, we enjoyed the beautiful lights on the Mesa Temple grounds with Shad and family and Janel and Ty.

Sunday, Ryder was given his name and a beautiful blessing by his dad, Jerel.

Monday, we said our goodbyes and headed back to California, Thousand Oaks to be exact where we stopped in to share Christmas gifts and love with Kristi and the four kids, Johny, Ginny, Katie, and Cecily. Eric was at work, so we missed him. We then headed back home, tired from such a quick trip, but happy to have made more memories. We arrived home to find Boyce and Suzanne here, who spent the rest of the week headquartered with us. I didn't get any photos of them, I'm sorry to say, but we had a great time. We were able to see all of our kids except Megi, Ty, and girls which made me sad. I'm learning to be content with my blessings and not always looking for something better. So I am thankful we could see as many of our loved ones as we did.
