Happy New Year!

New Year's Eve has taken on a whole new form. In our younger day we would party with friends until 2 a.m. followed by breakfast at Denny's. This year we found ourselves playing the Candyland DVD with 3 girls under the age of 5, a chocolate fountain with rootbeer and midnight celebrations (9:00 p.m.) with bubble wrap on the floor and party poppers in the driveway. Good Times! Here are a few photos of the girls and their New Year's Eve activities...Lauren may have had a little too much root beer!

"Square Temple"

So Christmas is over and Stephen's schedule at work has been a little crazy with the big project release. We didn't make it to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square before Christmas so we took some time afterward to check them out. We picked Stephen up from work and Avery was so excited to tell him that we were going to "Square Temple" to see the Christmas lights. It was a little cold, but we had a great time. Avery learned a little bit about Jesus and why he had marks in his hands and feet. She got to see the inside of the Tabernacle. She said, "I know this, that's where they stand up and sing!" She really wanted to stay and hear some singing but Stephen coaxed her back outside to see more lights.
