Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! We finally have all of our Christmas decorations up and most of our shopping done. We decided to do something new and different, and start a tradition of having a white tree. I remember many Christmas holidays spent in Cedar City, Utah at my grandparents house. They had a huge white tree that was always decorated in blue and silver. I loved that tree! Hopefully our kids and grandkids will look back fondly one day on memories of our own family traditions, just as Brandon and I look back fondly on ours.

We had a busy weekend trying to catch up on some chores and decorating. Brandon took Kyla to the optometrist this weekend, and it looks like she's going to need glasses. She is very excited about it and picked out two cute pairs.....pictures to come.

While Bran and Kyla were at the eye doctor, I took Casey to a skating birthday party. Funny story. Casey was skating along when he decided to take a break at the table where the party was being held. The other kids were still out skating. One of the adults at the table offered Casey a piece of cake. He never turns down a piece of cake, especially if it's Oreo flavored. He politely took the plate and proceeded to eat the entire piece, then he said "Thank You", and went back out to skate for a while. When he returned to the table later with his friends, he realized that the table where he ate the cake was the wrong party.....he had sat down to eat cake at someone else's party! He said that he had never been so embarrassed in his life! I wish I had been there to witness it. He happily ate a second piece of cake....this time at the right party.

We hope that everyone has a very blessed holiday season this year! Merry Christmas!
