Oh FFFUUUUUDDDDGGGGE ... Where did this year go? It's Christmas Time Again?!

One of our favorite Christmas season traditions is to attend the Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert. We were fortunate enough to be able to attend again this year. As always it was an amazing experience! The next night we celebrated Elizabeth's first birthday! We attended a fun party at Holly & Jared's house with the Epperson & Olson Families. Elizabeth had her first (big!) taste of cake & was kind enough to share it with her Nonny. We pinpointed this as the exact moment mom caught her cold.

We had a fun Christmas Eve with the Quigley cousins, but didn't bring our camera. So you'll just have to imagine Aaron opening one of Grandma's old swimsuits during the white elephant gift exchange & then modeling it for the entire family. We had a great time! You can talk to Brent & Buffy if you'd like photographic proof of this high point in Aaron's modeling career. We spent much of Christmas Day at Janette & Kevin's with the Oakeson family. We played games, had some great food, and the kids opened presents from each other & from the Grandparents. Most of the kids opening gifts

Natalie was VERY excited!

Taylor & Mandy We all had a great time playing games & spending some time together.

Merry Christmas Everybody!

Time to Catch Up

We haven't been very good about updating our blog the past month or two on account of the MANY events we've been attending. So now that we have a moment we thought we'd bring everybody up to speed on just a few of the things that took up so much of our time during the last bit of this year: In November we celebrated Grandma Bonnie's 80th birthday by having a reunion of sorts at the Classic skating rink. Although Bonnie passed away this last year, the family still thought it was fitting that we do this knowing Grandma would have just loved it! Some skated ... Some didn't ... But everybody had a great time! Dan & Kerri Cousin Jason & Brittany, Mandy & Janette doing the CHICKEN DANCE! We also had a great Thanksgiving with the Oakeson, Arnesen, Williams & Pryor families. We played basketball, ate a great dinner and played a looooonngggg game of hearts.
