Home Again

Christmas Sampler collage We had such a wonderful Christmas season this year. We were gone to Utah for almost 3 weeks. It was a long time to be gone, but it really flew by. We had so much fun seeing family and even a couple of friends from Rochester (Hi Mark and Sally!). We crammed so much in that it's a good thing I took pictures (over 500 of them!) to help us remember most of it. Highlights included: going to a BYU basketball game (Gooooo Cougars!); The Lollipops Christmas Concert at Abravenal Hall; Christmas Eve at Aunt Renae's House including the traditional Nativity with all the cousins and a story and testimony from Grandma Anderson; Christmas Morning (of course); Christmas afternoon with the Cassidy clan including a delicious dinner and a fun game of Apples to Apples that evening; a New Year's Eve movie marathon and smoked salmon and sparkling juice at Midnight; Going up to Temple square and seeing the gorgeous lights; Sledding on the golf course behind Aunt Renae's house; Visiting Mark and Sally and having a great time visiting, playing games and feasting on sensational clam dip; Sunday dinner with the whole family, Going to see Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium with the kids and going to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets with Rob and Christina; Going to the Children's Museum at the Gateway in SLC; Playing games at the Dunn's and just visiting, laughing and having an all around great time. We love our family so much and are so grateful to everyone for all that you did and do for us. Your generosity made this one of the most amazing Christmases in my memory. We love you!!
