Out With The New, In With The New

After only 2 years with his beloved truck something else caught his eye, The new 4 door Jeep. 9 long years ago Rick sold his truck and replaced it with a baby (Madi), and he never let me forget it. So when he came home and said he was thinking about selling it to get this jeep I never thought it would actually happen. I think it's going to be lots of fun, if I ever get a chance to drive it!

This is the guy who just won Survivor, Todd Herzog. His sister Kim Herzog just happens to be one of Rick's assistants, way cool!

Christmas Party

Last Monday for family night we got together with some families in our neighborhood for a Christmas party. The kids acted out the nativity story first then we enjoyed the chocolate fountain, then we had a very special visitor. This year Ellie and Andrew were offered the role of Mary and Joseph, Andrew kindly accepted however Ellie wanted nothing to do with it, she decided she would rather be a wise men, or shepherd, one of the two. Madi and Mazie also were wise men.They were so darn cute!

We had a very special visitor show up at the party, The kids loved seeing him and telling him what they want for Christmas this year.

Christmas Coke

So the other day I mentioned one thing I love about this time of year are all the traditions. Well, one thing Rick loves, and looks forward to every year is that Coke turns into Christmas Coke. He prefers the glass bottles, (he thinks it tastes different) but the other day I couldn't find any so we got the Christmas cans. He decided that after being in the freezing garage it wasn't cold enough, so he put it in the freezer, (just for a minute.) Ha Ha, well he forgot and needless to say this is what I found the next day. He's lucky I love him so much.

Festival Of The Trees

One thing I love about this time of year are all the traditions, about 3 years ago we started taking the kids to see the festival of Trees with my dad. They look forward to it every year, and still talk about the dalmatian dog tree they saw the first time we went. This year, Pa-Pa, Tadd, Tysen, Ava, and the boys came along. We loved this candy factory tree, it was so fun, the kids stood and looked at it for a long time, it said it was donated by a Dr. Black from SLC. is this Lisa Dana's dad? We loved it!

The gingerbread houses were awesome, they had so many cute little houses. We thought the BYU stadium and the little corner Bistro from Ratatouille was so cute!

These are some of our favorite trees
