It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

December has been filled with concerts and preparations that give a boost to the feeling of Christmas. We put up a tree the week after Thanksgiving. I really don't like stringing lights on the tree and, thankfully, this year Kris helped tons! Last week Max's choir had a concert at Centennial Middle School that was followed a few minutes later by Madeline's concert at Timpview High School. So we dashed from one school to the other just in time to catch it all. They were both great! Yesterday evening we celebrated Madeline's 17th birthday with her favorite grasshopper ice cream pie. Tonight was the choir concert at Wasatch School. Lizzie sang with the 3rd-Grade Choir and Oliver sang with the Concert Choir. It was a highlight of the season, as always. Mother Nature has kicked in with some spectacular light shows and snow storms that are stunning.

We are excited to see Maren, Gavin, and the boys at the end of the week. They will be a welcome addition to the holiday mood. That's all for now.

Isn't this the best time of year!? I'm (surprisingly) finding myself jealous of all that white stuff, it looks delicious.

It's amazing how fast your grandchildren are growing up! And the snow and Timp are beautiful!
