Busy Holidays

We have had a busy and wonderful holiday season, starting with Thanksgiving. We had most of our family over for a yummy turkey dinner. Joel and Becky were in Pittsburgh, and Reed and Andrea went to Utah to spend Thanksgiving with Andrea's family. Marie, Rob, and Evan came up from Tucson. It was a beautiful day. The weather was unseasonably warm, and we were able to have fun outside playing badminton.



I took off a week from work in December to babysit April's boys, Gavin and Ethan, while April and Jason spent a fun-filled week in Cozumel, Mexico with some of Jason's family. The boys and I had fun going to the Temple Christmas lights, the zoo, the Science Center, and a few other places. Such good boys! They listen, they help, and they go to bed so easily!

Joel and Becky came to visit from Pittsburgh for two weeks during Joel's Christmas break from Dental school! We got to meet their newest addition, Nolan Marc (4 months)! He is so cute and adorable!! They blessed him this Sunday, and then we had a luncheon afterwards with Becky's family. That was fun!

Marina turned 5 a few days after they got here. She is soooo bright! I am amazed at how well she can read! And Molly is a beautiful little sweetheart!!

We had a great Christmas! Lots of fun and food and family! I just wish I could have taken more time off work to enjoy a more relaxing week. All I had off was Christmas day. Maybe next year!
