The Nativity

These are most of my beehives! Oh, how I love and adore them! They are such good girls, who strive everyday to be like Jesus and have such a sweet spirit about them.

I had received an email and a flyer from Cheralyn G. to visit her parents home during their open house times in December and view her 425 nativities that she has throughout her home. She has 600+ but only put out 425. ;) So, for our mutual night I took my girls to the open house. Sister King's home is so beautiful and seeing all her different nativities, especially the one's from other country's which depicted how those people view the Savior! Precious! I was thrilled also to have my 2 loves with me, they both wanted to come too! Couldn't miss it! :)

Hiking...

with my Beehives! We were so privileged to have Sister Peay guide us through Placerita Natural Area. She told us stories and historical facts and pointed out a lot of poison oak. She even showed us a bush, red berry bush, that grows the berries that the coyotes eat. She picked them off and several of the girls tried it. Brenda ate it first and assured us that they are not poisonous. The girls reported that they are not good, very bitter. We had a great time just being together.

My kids got to come too and they were not thrilled about me taking a picture of them. It was getting dark while we were finishing our hike and Ashton was getting really nervous. He was on the verge of tears at one point because he was afraid of coyotes. We saw alot of coyote poop with berries in it so he knew they were around in that area. I comforted him by telling him that there are so many of us that the coyotes would be afraid of us, he was very pleased and smiling when we saw our cars in sight. He jumped right in his seat and shut the door. :)

Tutti Frutti

Tonight for our Beehive activity we went on a bike ride from the church to Tutti Frutti and it was so much fun! Full of adventure, the girls did so so great! My chain fell off once but I happened to get it back on not knowing what I was doing. One of the girl's chains fell off too but luckily her dad came along with us and was able to help her get hers back on. One of the girls had a beautiful beach cruiser but had no gears so all the hills were tough but she never walked, AWESOME! The frozen yogurt was so delicious, a yummy treat and then back on our bikes we went and rode back to the church. We had two parents come with us, which I greatly appreciated and 2 of the girls brought friends. We were quite the sight. There was a total of 13 of us cruising to Tutti Frutti! :)
