Blessings at Christmastime!


I know, I know....update your blog already! I could try to convince you all how busy I am, but I know you are all busy at this time of year, so I won't sport with that idea.
The idea of this post is to share some precious photos with you. As many of you know, Justin, Tabitha and Jackson came to live in my basement on Dec 3rd. This is Tabby and Jack's 1st Winter in Utah and we seized the opportunity yesterday to expose Jack to 'snow'.
He wasn't too keen on the wind...or other aspects of Utah weather as you will tell by the photos.
Justin built him a snowman with a 'snow-hawk'. Jack did not help with this endeavor b/c he refused to touch the dreaded white stuff and making the sound 'oooooo'

He was only outside a few minutes....let's hope he gets used to this stuff and learns to like it in the future b/c they plan to live here a very long time!






Last Saturday was a special day...Stephanie went thru the temple for her own endowments.
It was a bitterly cold day but warm on the inside. We are SO excited the she will be part of our family and we are excited about THIS Saturday as well!



We decorated our tree and front room for Christmas. It was fun to have so many helping hands. it went so smoothly with Jack and Steph [newest members of the family] putting the star on the tree.
Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year everyone. Hug all your family and friends and be grateful for the abundance of blessings....I know I am grateful!

Stephanie is perfect for Jarren and perfect for our family! I knew I would miss somebody important...dang!
