christmas is joy


we celebrated jesus birth by acting out the manger scene. ellie was the heavenly angle zac was joseph sarah was mary cousins were the shepard and donkey. and the two wise guys in the back were chad and his brother. it was very fun. i hope the kids get the point to this story. i am very grateful for the saviour and what he went through and did for me and all of us. christmas is a great time of year to think about how much you love family and friends. thank you everyone for being a part of our lives. we love you and miss you all.

our christmas vacation





we got to go to arizona for christmas. it was very warm(compared to utah). we went to the park and on a little hike. it was great to see grandma b and pap ray. we miss them but i can see why they love it there (so warm and dry). later chad's brother and wife and kids came to join us right before christmas. it was so wonderful to see them. kids grow up so fast.

It's a Tea Party


sarah is turning 7 this year. i can't believe she's growing up so fast. they got to decorate their hats and make cool flower pens. it snowed a lot this day so i'm glad everyone made it safely here and back. well of course i have to show the cake. it was fun making it. thanks to ellie and her friend for helping me get ready and entertaining the girls.
love you all.
