Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you! We have enjoyed reading your Christmas cards and messages. We hope you are all safe in your travels and have a truly blessed holiday season with friends and family!

Things here have been SUPER busy the last two months - that's my excuse for not blogging. However, I just couldn't stand to see the Halloween pictures as the most current post anymore. Here's a quick run-down:
- Lauri's get-away to Salt Lake with her friend Melissa
- Hosting Thanksgiving for Lauri's side of the family
- Lauri's 2 month tooth-ache that ended in a root canal today (well, actually, my dentist couldn't even finish the root canal yet)
- Lydia's 3rd grade Christmas program
- Felicity got braces
- Evelyn's first grade musical play - Melton the Warm-hearted Snowman
- 2 class Christmas parties
- Shawn put together our ward choir Christmas program
- The Stake Christmas music fireside
- Christmas planning and shopping
- Shawn took on directing the 5th grade play - Romeo and Juliet. Rehearsals start in January and Felicity got the part of Lady Capulet
- All three girls had their Christmas dance recital
- Getting ready for the new year in primary
- School, church, work, volunteering, a few minor illnesses and life in general
