Christmas Break

Blessed to have all 5 college kids here at some point during the Christmas break. Nick, Kurtis & Kristen arrived Christmas Eve night.  We enjoyed Christmas morning filled with gifts, games, our 2021 family word introduction, and amazing karaoke!

Kristen left early Sunday morning to get back for her new job

Brandon & Sarah arrived Monday afternoon

Nick's present to me - letting me cut his hair after 4 months

Hiking at Sweetwater Creek State Park with the Trustys

games, puzzles, Kurt headed back, lunch at Newks

Cool new bowling alley 2 miles from our home!  LeAnn won the first game - needs to be documented, may never happen again:)

Love and adore our amazing kiddos!

Thankful they were "willing" to make fun memories with us~

December Dids

Justin's beautiful chorus concert because his awesome teacher Hannah Beth Potter-Lee figured out a way to make it happen in the gym with social distancing and masks - loved it!  Christmas church and our cute Nutty

Amazing outdoor Nativity for our church Christmas party

(Justin was at a swim meet that unfortunately we can't attend - dumb covid)

Justin cleaned my car - Merry Christmas to me!

A sweet friend Karen that I met this year dropped of treats and flowers.

Spinning into December

 Our cute K&K have had lots happening in their world.  Kristen landed an awesome job in Logan, Kurt did his first spin training, & they got a new apartment which Kristen is beautifully decorating, & Kurt is building & assembling, for wedding life.

Grateful

 My beautiful Thanksgiving morning walk with Nutty. President Nelson asked us to post what we're grateful for the past 7 days on social media.  Loved this focus and blessed to witness so much gratitude.  #givethanks

Our cute K&K switching from a warm Thanksgiving to a very cold one.  Cooking up their own dinner with Kristen's brother & wife.  Can't wait to see them in a few weeks.

Thanksgiving Surprise

 The college kids had last minute change of plans, so we were blessed to have 3 of them surprise Justin and come for Thanksgiving!

Love the bond between these 2 cute boys
