On Holiday

I love Christmas break! Everything is leisurely and I get to relax, shop, and visit cool people.

The Pugs took on the Utah mountains and went skiing.

This is a pretty accurate photo of what happened on the slopes.

Christmas was full of family time.

Lots of food and several discussions about who is the best looking family member.

Stephanie and I were able to meet up for our semiannual dinner. We have changed a lot over the years, but still love this tradition.

My favorite walking buddy! Nicole and I have been strolling the streets of Provo and gossiping about everyone for years.

Steven came to visit and I finally saw the last Harry Potter movie. Well worth the wait!

Lainie and Ryan came to Utah! I finally got to meet their cute little boy and we spent a delightful lunch sharing news and scary stories. Some things never change!

These boys came back to town and we spent a lovely evening watching Mrs. Doubtfire. So much humor was lost on us as children!

Jeff came to Provo and we partied in his new, sexy truck.

That's the spot!

Live life, live it well.

'Tis The Season To Be Jolly

While some might accuse me of being a Grinch, I was filled with Christmas spirit this year. Here are a couple of the festive things we've done.

Melted snowman cookies.
Becca didn't quite get the memo that these were jolly snowmen.

Christmas Devotional in SLC.

Becca's out of control birthday party was filled with people and Christmas cheer.

My favorite boys.
Aunt Cindy and Grandma Audrey ventured out to Utah.

We took a million photos and Ezra entertained us by imitating Grandma.

Our school had an ugly sweater competition and I went to the finals!

The Dream Team. I love these ladies!

Our second graders sang at a nursing home and decorated gingerbread houses. Nothing is as precious as 125 excited little kids.

Merry Christmas!
