The Holiday Months are Here!!

To kick off the beginning of the two biggest family celebration months (November and all it’s Thanksgiving glory and December with family gatherings), we spent the first Saturday in November (a few workers came earlier, but their work counts!) working on the Mom’s yard!  We had lots of help from grandkids, too!  I’ll probably miss someone, but here goes with the list of helpers:  Terry, Cathi, Jim, Karen, Dave, me, Chris, Brian, Erin, Nathan, Patrick, Heather, Kim, Adam, Joe, Alex, Colin, Hunter and Cameron.














We also got more game time in with Hunter.  I love - seriously love! – watching kids and grandkids in their sporting activities!  Hunter was a good hitter and it was so cute watching him talk to his teammates.  Daddy and Cameron also got to do some coaching!












We watched the girls one day and while I was busy with the baby, Papa was so patient with Kenna and even helped her put a pony in her hair!  He is such a softie with his granddaughters…and I love it!!










Spent some time with the two little boys, too!  They are so fun to play with!















Then, we went from this…



...to this!!


Yes, we headed to Idaho!  It was a special trip because Logan turned 12 on the 15th and he was going to be ordained and receive the Priesthood.  It was special to have his Dad and both his grandfathers ordain him.  You’d think I would have taken a picture of them, wouldn’t you?  I didn’t.  Still kicking myself!

But, hey, here’s a picture of him with his awesome Dr.Who cake!!











We got up north just in time to go to Logan’s 6th grade performance.  It was fun…but the little punk positioned himself where I couldn’t get a good picture!  These are as good as it gets!












As is the norm lately, Lexi and I played games!  And this is only a few of the games we played…













Meanwhile, Logan and his Dad, Papa, and Papo went out to do some shooting.  Logan is a good shot, according to Papa.










And we had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner of which I got zero pictures.  I was too busy having fun to remember to take pictures!!

We headed back down to Arizona on December 1st  - just in time to get into the swing of everything Christmas!  But that’s a story for another day….
