However, this Christmas Season means a lot to me, and I know it is because I love my Savior Jesus Christ with all my heart and soul and desire that others might know and feel His divine love for each of you.
Today, I include two videos from an extraordinary little one; Claire Crosby that has become quite well known over the last few years. I have the privilege of knowing Claire's mother, Ashley, as a young girl. She was in our church ward, and I was her activity day leader. I loved her as a young girl and saw her potential. To see her little family now is so sweet. Claire's grandmother and great grandmother are also special friends of mine that have touched my heart in many ways.
The first video is of Claire having the special moment with our beloved Prophet, President Russell M. Nelson. President Nelson is 95 years old, and he is accompanying her as she sings, "Silent Night." I know this was a treasured moment in Claire and her family's lives.

Here is a little update on our lives this past year.
We had a marvelous Family Reunion. Everyone had a great time, and there was a lot of cousin bonding. We are so grateful for every one of our six children and spouses, 32 Grandchildren, 5 Great Grandchildren.
Roger and I are thankful for our opportunity to continue serving as ordinance workers in the Jordan River Temple. Roger teaches the 7-year-olds In Primary. I continue to work in the Stake Relief Society Presidency. We aren’t sure that there is the word retire because we are busier than ever with Friends, Family, callings, and temple.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each of you! We treasure our many friendships. We have many fond memories.
Here are Claire and her mom, Ashley~
May the light of our Savior’s love linger forever within your homes.
Sending loving thoughts and hugs your way! Roger and LeAnn Williams
