Christmas Lights

 Kelly, Deah, and I went to the festival of trees on December 3rd. We ran into the Hortons and decided to join them on a trip to temple square. Here are Marcus, Quincey, and Caleb on Trax.

I took some fun pictures of the Hortons. I am so glad we ran into them.

 Deah was hesitant to come because she did not have a coat that matched. Needless to say we talked her into it.

 Kris and Michelle came up for family night on December 5th and we enjoyed another trip on the train and the beautiful Christmas lights!

 Claire was dressed nice and warm and Josh had an awesome hat!

 We had fun with the giant nutcracker in the Joseph Smith Building...

 ...and took great pictures in front of the tree!

Kris has a great love for the ZCMI windows that have not been decorated for many years but this year Kris found one with some "great" decoration! I have a great family!!!!!

Rocky Mountain Thanksgiving!

 We enjoyed a beautiful thanksgiving with the Lecheminants in Parker, Colorado

 Julie prepared so many great foods during our trip, even though Jeff got the credit!

 The weather was 65 degrees on thanksgiving day so we enjoyed the beautiful day in the park with the kids.

 Julie completely out did herself with an amazing thanksgiving dinner and with help from her little helper!

 Dad and Mom gave into the tryptophan more than once on the trip. 

 The kids came and enjoyed the pool at the hotel.

 Trey planned a white elephant party while we were there. He gave Dad, his Grandpa, snakes! Grandpa does NOT like snakes!

What an amazing vacation with amazing food and incredible family! We love the Lecheminants!
