Early Christmas at Zermatt

We spent the weekend at Zermatt with Luke, Ally, Maddie and Izzie. They traveled 30 hours from Perth, Australia. We had such a great time! We went swimming and had a birthday party for Izzie on Friday (she turned 3). On Saturday we went tubing at Soldier Hollow, went to storytime with Mrs. Claus and decorated cookies. Here are a few pictures of our fun, early Christmas.

Draper Art Show

Connor and Ian participated in their very first art exhibit tonight -- the Draper Historical Society Art Show at Draper City Hall. They have been taking a weekly art class the past three months after school. Tonight we got to see five of their art pieces. Kim and I were very impressed. They loved taking the class together and it's so great for them to try new things. They have both decided they really like art.

'Tis the Season

Last night we attended the Festival of Trees at the Southtowne Exposition Center. We saw more than 800 decorated holiday trees. I am amazed at the creativity of some people. Two members of our decorated trees in honor of children they lost this past year. It was very heartwarming!

Musical Theater

We took the boys to see Hillcrest High's production of "Cinderella." Our dear friend, Paul Winkelman, directs the musicals and always does such a great job. We figure it's a good way to introduce the boys to the theatre. Connor and Ian both loved it. It was a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon,

Connor's 7th Birthday Party

Because Connor's birthday falls the day before Thanksgiving, we had his party today. It was held at My Gym and as you can see by the photos, a "good time was had by all." It's so hard to believe he is turning seven. He is turning out to be such a kind and caring young man. We are very proud of him and so honored to be his parents!

Best Husband in the World

I love a surprise visitor at the door, especially if he is delivering roses. Kim sent these to me today. My birthday is Friday and he always likes to send flowers early so I can enjoy them all week. He has sent me a dozen red roses every birthday since we started dating. Aren't the beautiful? He is truly the best husband in the world and a true romantic.
