Lights at Temple Square





We had a great time at Temple Square with grandma and grandpa Miles looking at all the lights and nativity scenes. We were also able to watch a few performances in the tabernacle one of the groups were Japanese drummers. Then we went to dinner at Chuck A Rama. Thanks grandma and pa pa for a great night. After that we stop by Dusty and Leeann's to see cute little Connor. Ethan even stayed awake to take a peek. He sure loves Connor and can't wait till he is better so he can see him again and hold him.

Courtney's wedding day!



Courtney is a beautiful bride and we are so happy for her and Drew. It was wonderful to be able to attend their sealing in the Bountiful Temple. It was a cold and snowy day but very beautiful and eventful. A pipe burst in the entry way of the temple so they told us we could not go out the front doors but our children were in the waiting room which was by the front door. They ended up letting us go get them and we waited long enough that they got the water shut off and were cleaning up all the water as we left. Needless to say it was a little crazy and most of us missed Courtney and Drew coming out of the Temple. We were going to do family picture at the temple but that didn't work out so we ended up doing that at the church . They had a great luncheon. After the luncheon we all went to Brits house for a bit. Then we deiced it was a great day to go play in the snow so we got all geared up and went back to the church. They had a great little hill so sled on. Every one had a great time. Ethan even got to try snowboarding and loved it. He did really well and wants us to take him again. Thanks to my family for all the fun times a great memories.

T'was the night before the night before Christmas and all through the house there was lots of ruckus and fun to be had. Grandma got a little kitchen for Christmas that the kids Loved too. Like always the fondue was awesome! LeeAnn's Hay Stacks were missing, but she made up for that later. It was fun to watch everybody open their presents. Julies bought some really cool toys for the kids and gave us a night out basket which is way cool, thank you Julie your the best.

Waiting for Santa!








Ethan loved sitting on Santa lap and telling him what he wanted for Christmas. His wish list Changed every time he was asked. My favorite was when he said I want a big screen TV like my dad wants. Yea that what I really want. Mattie didn't want any thing to do with Santa. Krya was most interested in the goody bag .
