Christmas time is here! December 2015

Mike went over to Utah with Eric and Hannah to help Paul and Joni out for the week.  They all had a nice drive over and Mike had a wonderful stay.

Here is Grandpa telling Ellie his Brer Bear stories and Ellie with her beautiful gingerbread house:



This is Joel and Erin's new rescue dog, Francine, with Reese. She is awesome with the kids and they adore her!


I attended our ward Christmas party with our friend and Addie's breeder, Lori. It was a good evening and a great way to start out the Christmas season!


I flew over to Utah and joined Mike on Saturday for some events that we had scheduled a while back. We stayed with Joel and Erin in their lovely home and got to know Frannie a bit.

First up on the agenda was the BYU Christmas concert! It has been such a treat to hear Eric singing in the men's chorus! It was truly glorious!!



His adoring fans!



We got to spend some wonderful time with Paul's family too:




Their house was so beautifully decorated! Some wonderful friends did the outside for them professionally!! 



The love in their home is so strong. The support and generosity of their friends and neighbors continues to amaze us.

Next up, Christmas lights at Temple Square! Chase and Hannah joined us in the rain (not snow) for dinner and the lights. It was so beautiful! Haven't been for many years so it was a special treat!



Caroling with the sister missionaries!




You can barely see this but we were there to witness this couples proposal!! We didn't know them but it was still fun! 




I love to see the Temple! 

We got to see some cute Charlie Brown window displays in the old ZCMI building--all made of candy!




What a fun night! So glad these cute kids joined us!
