Merry Christmas Everyone

Snow is more fun with a 4-wheeler

Yes, bring on the snow. As long as I don't have to drive in it, snow can be fun. Rick took the kids on the sled yesterday. Soon there was a line of neighborhood kids waiting for a ride. Then today we delivered the neighbor gift on it. Fun, Fun, Fun.

Everyone has to shovel, Kevin is the only one who smiles while shoveling.

Yes Rick, there is a Santa Claus

Finally, Rick got his 4-wheeler. He has waited 16 years for it (he'll say 37 years). With the economy as bad as it is, the motor sports place put their 4-wheelers on sale. It's a Grizzly 700 or something like that. He got a good deal, but had to go to St. George to get it. But then, they gave him a gas card for his traveling. Anyway he is really excited.

Santa at the Primary Activity

Our ward primary activity was on Saturday. They made crafts, had food and visited Santa. Kevin was O.K. with Santa, so was Tyler & Emily.

Emily's Dance Program

Emily took World Dance this year and she liked it. She hasn't decided if she will do it again or go back to Jazz or Ballet. At the program they danced a Ukrainian dance.

This is the third year that we have gone to the Festival of Trees, it may be a tradition by now. I am amazed at what they can do with a Christmas tree. The trees are sold and the money goes to Primary Childrens Hospital. These were some of our favorites:

This one is made out of shotgun shells.

Kevin loved the Disney trees, there were quite a few.

I saw four trees with a Twilight theme. This one was my favorite.

Auto Mechanic

He may have a future in this.

New Deacon

While Grant & Marie were here Rick ordained Tyler to the Priesthood. My parents and brother came too, and Bishop Olsen was there to make it official.

Thanksgiving Magic

Grant & Marie came for Thanksgiving and Tyler & Grant did a magic show. They are both great Magicians.
