Maddie and Dane had their little girl on December 29, 2023. What a wonderful way to end the year!! Clementine Jo Romberg - 7 pounds, 21 inches - PERFECT! Maddie is wonder woman - she had the baby at home! With a midwifes' help! Yikes!! She's tired. Beautiful - just from Heaven!! Emily came over from Denver to be with them a week. Then Kurt drove the rest over to pick her up and meet darling Clementine!
Sunday October 31, Elder and Sister Elggren drove us to our assigned ward - the Kwa Thelma 2nd ward. It was Stake Conference and both wards met together - great talks! Wonderful to meet the people we will be serving on Sundays. It is about a 40 minute drive from the city - delightful children. The Temple is right next to the Area Offices - all are in a park like setting - an old estate that the Church purchased. View from behind the temple. Little lizard on the post of the steps into the office! Part of the Office buildings - underground parking door in the middle of the picture. The door to our department. Desk in front is Elder Smith's - mine just behind it. Further on is the Humanitarian couple's office. Interesting poster in another hallway.
On Wednesday, December 27, all the Utah Daughters and Granddaughters came to Salt Lake for the 2:00 matinee of the Nutcracker. When I was a little girl, my Smith Grandparents had season tickets to Kingsbury Hall at the U of U. They got tired of seeing the Nutcracker every December (?) so they gave their tickets to my Mother and she took each of her daughters one by one - only two tickets! I took Polly when we lived in Sandy - she was 6 years old. Granny gave her some butternut Life Savers to help keep her quiet - children at that time they asked to be 8 years old - Polly did great. It has become a wonderful Christmas tradition for the women in the family to attend a Nutcracker - where ever they are! This flyer was inside the program. William Christensen began directing the Nutcracker in Ca in 1944. He moved to Utah and the Ballet West's version has been showing since 1955! We met for lunch before the show. The City Creek Mall ...
