We are so excited for Christmas! Just a couple more days. Travis is coming the day after Christmas and we are looking forward to seeing him and his family.



Mitchell got to go to Disneyland with his football team the other day. Matt went with them as a chaperon. It was a really short trip but they had a great time.



Two nights ago we went to the Oakland Temple to see the Christmas lights with some of the families in our ward. We have never done that before and it was a lot of fun and beautiful.
I love this time of year!

We had so much fun on our trip to Utah.
We first went to go see my Grandma in Payson. She is not doing well but it was important for me to see her one last time and to get a photo of her with all my kids. It was so great to see her and spend some time with her.
We then went up and spent a few days with my Sister Hilary and her family. They kids had so much fun playing together. Especially in the snow. It was SOOO cold while we were there but they didn't let that stop them!
My parents flew in and we had a nice time together for Thanksgiving.
We then went to my BFF Susanne's house for a couple of days. We did out power Black Friday shopping and had a blast! It was great to see her and her daughter Joy. The kids had a blast sledding in her front yards.
We then headed out to Matt's brother Mike's house. The kids had a lot of fun together too. We went to go play basketball, stayed up all night playing Settlers, and had lots of good conversation. Matt was especially excited to see his brother Robby!
We are so thankful for all our extended family and the opportunity we had to go spend time with them!
