A day at the beach

We went to California to celebrate the marriage of Gordon's cousin. We went a day early to play. Our friends Rachel and Mike took us to Cabrillo beach and aquarium. We were all facsinated by the sea life there.

Lily's Dance recital

We just went to Lily's dance recital. It was so cute. I love to see little girls in tutus. Lily did a really good job. Her teacher put her right in the middle so the other girls could watch her.
There was also a suprise guest performance of swing dance!!!

Arizona Temple lights

The lights decorating the grounds here are beautiful. They also have concerts every night for the whole month. We came and heard the High School choir sing, they did a wonderful job. I'm hoping to go back and get some better pictures. But this is what I have so far.

Fashion Sense?

Don't you just LOVE her outfit?

We had a lot of fun visit my sister's family in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving. Here are some of my beautiful nieces

Megan who was fearless on these huge slides.
Ashley who is telling me her favorite joke.
Annika, getting ready for a high-stakes card game!

We put up our Christmas lights and our tree. We are really struggling to keep some of the ornaments on the tree. They are so pretty, and Lily loves pretty things. And Eve loves to play with whatever Lily has. so now most of our ornament are on the top part of the tree and the bottom is bare.
