Holiday Traditions


We went to HCT's production of A Christmas Carol once again; and loved it just as much as ever! It was the first year for Sophie and McKinley. Ayden decided that he really wants to be "Tiny Tim" in next year's production. After the show he kept practicing saying: "God bless us, God bless us, everyone!" in an English accent.


Jenny and I dipped pretzels.


Our Inaugural Visit to the Cabin






We were able to use our cabin for the first time over Todd's birthday. Rich and Logan couldn't be there since they are such working men. (Or as Rich put it: "Somebody has to pay for this cabin." ~ and we are ever so grateful!) We had a great time! And look forward to many more memories to be made at the cabin.

Annie and I went for a little walk, this picture does not due justice to just how beautiful the scenery was.


Hot tub adventures: the kids loved the outdoor hot tub and they all got out and made snow angels - crazy kids!

Our 34th Anniversary

November 19th was our 34th anniversary.
These are the beautiful roses that Rich gave me:



Here's what we gave each other:

Well, we actually just gave each other a 1/4 interest in this cabin.
It's in the Timberlakes area just east of Heber.

It's our gift to each other for our anniversary this year, and Christmas and anniversaries for many years to come!

We are very excited to start making family memories at our cabin!

The Bishop and Santa at the Ward Christmas Breakfast

Temple Square Christmas Lights

Last Tuesday we took our Mutual kids to Temple Square to see the lights. I haven't been for years and it was nice to go back. Here are a few photos taken with my iphone.

I love this one of the temple reflection and the lights floating in the pool

Last Night


Last night I went up to Salt Lake to watch Ayden dance in the Jazz game. We had a lovely meal at CPK and then hung out at the game until the end of the first quarter when his team danced. It was fun for me to watch Ayden and to visit with Mary and remember when she danced at the Jazz games. (I may have done a little shopping at the Gateway after . . .)

It's all good
