We had the wonderful experience of having our whole family gather with us for the Christmas holiday. Todd, Heather, Brienna, Breydon and Bethany came from Washington; Mic, Libby and Kate joined us from their home in Ogden, UT; Brandon and Colleen Lofthouse joined us Friday night and Saturday morning from Boise; Richard, Becca and Nike flew in from Indiana; Nathan, Eve, and children, Lydia, Anna, Sam and Sarah came from California; Mistie and her husband, Ben Barfus and five children, Emma, Eliza, Rachel, Brigham and Hazel, made the grueling 16 hour trip from southeast AZ; Jenny and Matthew Davis came up from Pleasant Grove, UT; and Matthew drove up to join his wife, Nikki, and new baby, Lynlee, who had flown up earlier from AZ.
We met at the Bountiful Temple on Friday night, to celebrate Marcus' 39th birthday, by going to the temple to do his endowment.
Sleeping 30+ people at our home was a real party and waiting for Santa with 15 grandchildren is quite exciting.
Christmas on Sunday morning was really special, especially with my own children to sing with us in the ward choir.
We have been truely blessed this year as a family. We cherish friends and family and our membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Happy New Year 2011
The holiday bustle is over and I can finally sit down and reminisce over the events of 1020. Our family has been greatly blessed through the ups and downs of daily life. We are often reminded that this mortal existence is just part of the whole of eternity, which makes us more and more committed to follow the Savior that we might be worthy to be with Him and our Father in Heaven when we leave this life.
Boyd & Bonnie are still living in North Ogden, UT. We have been blessed with two new granddaughters this year. Sarah Lucinda Shelton was born to Nathan and Eve Shelton in California and son, Richard and Becca Shelton had their first child, Nicole Keana Jean Shelton, in Indianapolis, IN.
In Nov. we celebrated the life of our son, Marcus, 38, who passed away in Boise, ID. We appreciate his wonderful wife of fifteen years, Colleen Mahoney Shelton. We cherish the time we had with him and the important place he holds in our family.
Our daughter, Jenny, married her sweetheart, Matthew Davis, on Dec. 29, 2010, in the Mt. Timpanogus Temple. We had a wonderful day with family and friends despite the weather.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to Family and Friends
We have enjoyed having all eight children with their seven spouses and eleven of our twelve grandchildren here with us in North Ogden for the holiday.
Todd, Heather with Brienna (almost 10), and 2 yr old twins, Breydon and Bethany were here from Washington.
Mic & Libby are here in Ogden and we enjoy having them for dinner every other Sunday.
Marcus & Colleen just moved into their new home in Meridian, ID, and we were able to visit them the first weekend in Dec. We love them here for Christmas.
Richard and Becca are here from Indianapolis, IN, where they live. They spent six weeks in Kenya, Africa, this summer working in medical and legal clinics, going on Safari and climbing Mt. Kilimangaro.
Nathan and Eve are here from California with children, Lydia (6), Anna (5) and Sam (almost 4).
Mistie and Ben live here in Harrisville, UT, with children, Emma (8), Eliza (6), Rachel (5), Brigham (2) and baby Hazel (5 months).
Jenny has just bought her own condo in Pleasant Grove, UT, which she shares with two roommates.
Matthew and Nikki, married in July, just finished school at BYU-Idaho and have moved to Ogden, until they get settled. They both graduated in business, Matt with a Finance emphasis and Nikki in accounting.
Bonnie's mother, Merle Lofthouse, is still with us.
Boyd is still working in electrical engineering and Bonnie is teaching piano and voice students in her studio at home.
Our lives are full and we have been so blessed this year. We would love to hear from you on our e-mail: sheltonbb@msn.com
