Merry Christmas!

We enjoyed a lovely low-key Christmas, the first in our new home. Some highlights of the season included trimming the tree, decorating graham cracker houses, studying the nativity, delivering and receiving goodies, class parties, festive music and Christmas 

Thanksgiving in Utah!

The kids flew BY THEMSELVES all the way to Utah since mom was very sick. There they were warmly welcomed and cared for my Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Brady and Aunt Morgan, Uncle Christian and Aunt McCall, and other loving family members! 


The kids said the highlights included: SNOW!, melting snowmen in the hotel firepit, swimming, seeing a movie, riding the Polar Express Christmas Train, the Thanksgiving play (Cali was the Indian Princess) and a family feast, going to Rodizios and seeing the musical Beauty and the Beast at BYU. What a great time they had!

Cali turns 7!

cupcakes, friends, make-up, decorating t-shirts with puffy paint...what a great day!
