O Come, Emmanuel

Enjoy this video from the Mormon Channel.  It's a great way to start the season!

O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

A STEP BACK IN TIME

grand old staircase, where mary played as a child

the original door

calling gma mary to make sure this is the right house

hazel clark--brian's grandmother, mary's mother lived in this house as a child.  her father walked up the hill every day to work in the logan temple.  on a recent trip to logan, amy and i wandered the streets till we found the house--still standing.  we got brave and rang the doorbell.  the tenants were happy to let us take a peak inside.  although its been convereted into an apartment complex, the entry way and woodwork, wallpaper and chandelier were original to the house.  amy had a blast going back in time, thinking about her great great grandparents in their grande old house!
