Christmas from Utah to Georgia

We are home! I got back from Utah and Marcus from Texas. We met back for Christmas in Georgia!
I enjoyed my visit to Utah while Marcus was away. It was so nice to see family!!! I really feel blessed to have such a wonderful family they are the answer to my prayers.

My family had a little Christmas party before I left Utah. We played games, ate and laughed together it was so fun!!
We were able to be included in the yearly Christmas Sugar Cookie bake with Grandma Thomas and the Grandchildren.Other things I loved about my visit to Utah:
Taco Time visits
Italian Village for Pizza bender
Forgotten Carols
Staying in my Mom's new house
Cafe Rio
Zoo lights
Trip to Provo for Brick Oven with my favorite brother then to look at the lights at Thanksgiving Point

Georgia Christmas Eve was Warm the Kids played outside all day. This is Branden playing with some horses that Grandma sent. As you can see the grass is dead because it does get cold. Not to bad. But it killed the grass Branden said hey our grass turned to hay for the horses while we were gone.Branden and Anthony opening presents from GrandmaThese are our Christmas Eve Treats that we made.

Christmas Fun

With being away from family we are in the thinking mode of what kind of Christmas traditions do we want to do as a family. I decided that I would help the boys do some kind of Christmas craft and we would put the year on the bottom. This year we did a slanted Christmas house it turned out cute. We then made little nutcrackers. The boys each made their own they did a great job!

Last I wanted to share my handout for primary. I made little Baby Jesus and attached the note Jesus Christ is the Greatest Gift. I have fun making things.




Branden Lost A Tooth!


Yea! Branden lost his first tooth yesterday. He worked hard to get it loose. Branden ate an apple and wiggled it and then he said " Dad pull my tooth" So Dad got a piece of dental floss and tied it around my tooth and out it came. I got a visit from the tooth fairy.

New Hair

Pam wanted me to post a picture of my new hair do. I was at the movie Twlight and I liked Alice's hair. I called Marcus in Texas and said that I wanted to cut my hair like one of the characters on Twlight and he said Alice and I said yes how did you know and he said do it! You will look hot! I am still getting use to it and am getting better at fixing it.

DAVID ARCHULETA

So I am a David Archuleta Fan!!! Ya laugh and say that I am to old but it is true! I even bought the CD. I have had the great opportunity to see him and his family in action. What a great family! They live next Door to my Grandparents. I even saw him at church. I was so impressed that after all the fame and publicity he is the same kid. My dad was his priest leader and so we know him well. I was so impressed to see him at church and he was going to everyone talking and they were all saying that they had missed him! He was so polite. I have seen even though you may be well known you can still be the boy next door!
