Christmas

We headed to the Rudd's to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas. The cousins played, we went out to dinner, drove around looking at Christmas lights, opened new jammies, and tried to go to sleep. After a little sleeping, it was time for presents. We played, then headed back to have Christmas dinner at Grandma and Papa's. It was a very fun day. 

Cassidy and Lexie

We had to wake Cassidy up. She was out!

Hike at Pinnacle Peak

It is here...

The snow has come. It is winter and I have to accept that. At least the kids had fun playing in it today!

Tooth #2

Ellie lost tooth #2! Pretty exciting!

Fun with Uncle Eric

Eric came for a quick visit and it sure was fun (as it usually is). We did a lot in the short time he was here. We went and saw the Carl Bloch exhibit at the BYU Museum of art, saw the Christmas lights at Temple Square, went to the library, walked around BYU, and went to Provo Canyon and threw rocks in the Provo River for awhile. Of course we played games and ate Grandma's noodles and Korean food. Eric treated us to some yummy donuts from the Provo Bakery. It was a great few days. Can't wait for another visit!

Temple Square Lights

We went to see the lights at Temple Square tonight. Uncle Eric came with us!

Cassidy was a little worn out by the time this picture was taken. 

Ready for bed ...

Mason's Baptism

Today was Mason's baptism. It was such a great day. Papa Steve, Grandma Nancy, Grampy Mike and Grammy Trish were able to come to Utah to be part of it. Cameron, Brittany, Cade, Connor and Maddox were able to come too. Mason had a great experience and we are so proud that he made such a great choice to be baptized. 

So excited!

Mason's good buddy Kade.
