4 Wheeler outings!!

We have had a few 4 Wheeler excursions this Fall and Winter that need to be documented. Sorry there are a million pictures but this post will cover 3 different outings.

The first one was to Arch Canyon. Jed & I and Jeremy & his kids (plus a friend of Livvy's) were the ones that had the fun that day!!

And then there was our excursion at Sand Hollow near St. George....(Jed was attending meetings there and part of one day was spent with others from the meetings on this fun ride!)

And in January we went to John's Canyon. There were petroglyphs and ruins and a lot of beautiful scenery. This canyon also has a ton of history that is very interesting but too much to include here.

Christmas in Blanding--Traditions

I love Christmas because......

....of the kid's programs at school!

.....and the family parties.....

......and the joy and excitement on the kid's faces. It is hard to wait for Christmas morning and so the kids get to open a present from Grandpa and & Grandma on Christmas Eve with their new jammies and this year they had puzzles and games and a new tortoise (yes, a real tortoise) that will be kept at Grandma's house to play with.

And, I love that we gather together on Christmas morning, before opening gifts, and read about the birth of the Savior!

And then we all head downstairs and.......................

the chaos begins!!!!!!

I love it and I love that we take time out of our busy lives to remember the birth of the Savior and all He did for us.
