Ward Christmas Party

We had our ward Christmas party Friday night. The party was really fun. We had a yummy dinner, (ham, cheesy potatoes, salad, corn and rolls). Then our youth put on a play. It was so cute!

The Melting Pot

Last Saturday, Aaron and I went to the Melting Pot for the first time! We went with my niece Brittany and her parents Darren and Teresa. Brittany is leaving for her mission on Wednesday. She and Aaron talked about going there a long time ago. We decided we'd better make it happen.

The dinner was pretty good. -A little too pricey and not all that it is hyped up to be (In my opinion). I really enjoyed the company though.

I'm excited for you Brittany. You're going to be an amazing missionary.

Welcome December

Quick Trip To Rexburg

We made a quick trip to Rexburg, Idaho this past weekend. I've needed a root canal for quite a while. I have a tooth that died as a result from my boating accident 11 years ago. My nephew Randy Jones is a dentist. He was visiting family from Colorado and offered to help me while he was in town.

Randy with his wife Lisa and daughter Reagan

Friday night we stayed in the Quality Inn. After the car ride and a swim in the pool, all of us were worn out.

Saturday morning I had the root canal done. My sister in law Karie got permission from her boss to use his office.

The kids played with toys and watched a movie.

Aaron and Karie assisted Randy. We began around 8:00 and finished at 9:30. I couldn't believe how quick the procedure was. Thank you so much Karie and Randy. I really appreciate everything!

We had a nice drive home.

We stopped in Black Rock. Aaron showed the kids where he grew up. Here is some of the property Aaron's family owned.

Here is Aaron's old house! It's been updated since he lived there. He told us that there use to be some large pillars in the front of the house. Not far from the house there is a river where he use to fish. Just south of his house there is a large mountain where he use to go hike. It was fun learning about Aaron's childhood.

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving was amazing this year! We celebrated it at my parents home. All of my siblings were there as well as their spouses and children. Michael even had one of his room mates over. The food was so so good! We had so much, we couldn't fit it all on the table.

Ashley and Dave set the tables up so cute. Everyone had their own little name tag with their plate. They also did the little cornucopias filled with candy.

After dinner we celebrated Sasha's birthday. Sasha is 2 years old! -Where does the time go?

I think Sasha's favorite gift was a little doll Mike gave to her. The doll came with a binkie and a bottle. She absolutely loved it.
