The Polar Express

Tonight we were able to take the kids on a ride on the Polar Express. This was absolutely awesome. The boys had a blast. Thank you Nanny! As the train started off it played music from the polar express and took us on a tour of beautiful lights and those huge christmas snow globes. Then we stopped at "the north pole" and got off the train. Where we were able to visit Santa and sit on his lap. Luke asked for a train and Noah said "he's good and doesn't really need anything." WHAT? After Santa saw all the kids on our train, he talks about the meaning of the candycane and what the first true gift of Christmas is. Then we boarded the train again and finished the ride listening to soft christmas music and traveling past pictures of Christ throughout his life. Totally Awesome! After our ride was over we got to go back to Nannys for Hot.....Hot......Hot chocwat and cookies. Thank you Nanny and Poppy we had a blast.

Nutcracker

We also had the privilage to go see Lexy perform her dances in the Nutcracker. This year Lexy is in company and did many of the very advanced and beautiful dances. She looked perfect up there and did great. She is a natural ballerina and its so crazy to me to think that I used to hold her in the glider and sing her to sleep. Our favorite dance was popcorn. Lexy you are awesome. We love you keep up the hard work.

"Ballet on Tuesdays"

We took the boys to see Josie dance in the Nutcracker. She was a chinese tea cup and utilized the whole stage She galloped and hopped all over. The rest of her class mates pretty much just stood still and did nothing. Josie was awesome. She was the prettiest little thing on stage and her little feet never stopped moving. Good job Josie, we love you. Keep up the good work.

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was a wonderful day and we were able to eat, visit and play with all of our family. Our turkey was perfect, the gravy divine. The potatoes not lumpy, a great way to dine. Thank you everyone we had a great time.

A few days later we were able to meet Brads family and celebrate him again with more food at a sweet little place called Market Street Grill or as Noah calls it " the fish place." Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Garrett. We were also a celebrating cuz the Utes creamed the Cougs (sorry guys). The final feast for Brads birthday included an evening up in Heber at The Claim Jumper. Thank you Mom and Dad. Its so fun to be able to spend time with family and giggle and laugh. We appreciate all of you and are so grateful for your love and support.

Wow time flies!

Wow, it has been a while so lets go back. So we celebrated Brad birthday and had a fun little day with him. Me and the boys drove up to the Univeristy of Utah and suprised Brad for dinner at his favorite little dive. (Seriously) Its called The Pie and is a pizza joint that is the closest thing to the Jersey Pies he used to get on his mission. We had a blast and the pizza was good, (still doesn't beat angelos in Cali) but pretty good. The next day we had a little family get together and enjoyed food, folks and fun. Brad got a new Chargers coat that he loves. This pic makes me laugh. You can take the boy out of the thugs but ya can't take the thug out of the boy. Brad we love you and are so proud of you.
