Girls, we couldn't fit this in the car for the trip, so this is one of your presents when we get back, new bedspreads and pictures for your walls. We hope you like them! Love , Mom and Dad

Christmas Traditions





Every year growing up we went out as a family and picked out a Christmas Tree together. This is the main reason why I don't break down and buy an artificial tree. I love the memories it brings back to go out and pick out a real tree and the smell of it in the house when you come home at Holiday time. I must admit that it is a much less freezing cold activity to pick out a tree in Southern California than in Utah. We picked out a cute tree this year while the kids ran wild in and out of all the other the trees on the lot. I couldn't get Jackson to stand still for 2 seconds to take a photo. Next, we always go see the lights at the temple every year. This year, instead of driving 4 blocks to see the lights, we had to drive 35 miles but as usual, the lights were beautiful. The only problem was that it was POURING RAIN the whole time we were there. Oh well, you can't have EVERY day be sunny, can you? We shouldn't be greedy.
