December

Aaron and Corinne came and visited with us at the beginning of Dec. They came over before their big NYC trip and then we went to Corinne's cousin's place for dinner and saw them again after they got back. I think Grant thought Aaron was daddy for a little while. He took right to him.



Alyssa and Nona making the gingerbread house. So grateful Alyssa got to spend the holidays with us. We even did some Nana traditional baking minus tamales. Alyssa made sure we had twice-baked potatoes, orange rolls and ham, though.
Our first snow of the year. 2 feet. Craziness. Grateful for my neighbors and ward members who helped shovel me out.

Here are the kids singing at our ward talent show. So dang cute. Watch for Grant reaching for Nona's hand. My favorite part.

Christmas was awesome. I'll download pics soon. If you want to see them though you'll have to check my FB. The kids got Wii games, board games, stuff for their DSs, Nona got a Gizmo (which is the cutest thing ever), and lots of other stuff. Adam got to see it all via Gmail video chat. Yay for technology! He also read the nativity the night before so the kids could act it out. So cute!

I lost a very good friend this month, you know, the kind of friend that when they leave your heart just hurts. Sara Newey, you will be missed. My music/bathhouse/ errand/lunch-date/recording/awesome friend. What am I going to do without you?!!!!

I hope everyone had a great holiday season!
