December 2023

 Yikes.  One more month until we put a wrap on 2023.  

December 3rd:  Today was our first family day out on the slopes for the season!

December 8th:  Abby has been going to Woodward quite a bit lately.  What a great place to let out some energy!

December 9th:  Abby decided she wanted to play indoor soccer this year.  In the end, she didn't enjoy it as much as outdoor, and she realized she does not like co-ed.  (The boys kick it way to hard and she has been hit more than once by the soccer ball.)

That evening was Emma's first school dance.  She looked beautiful and had a lot of fun!

December 10th:  We went to a Holiday Sing-a-Long at the Egyptian Theater with my sister.  

December 15th:  Today was our Holiday Sing-a-Long at School.  The music teacher did a great job of incorporating all different cultures in the program.  

That afternoon, we all went tubing at Woodward with my sister.  The girls and my sister had gone before but it was a first for Andy and me.  So fun!

After tubing, Emma and Abby went inside to enjoy the trampoline park.

December 22nd:  After Abigail was down for about 5 days with the flu, it felt good to get out her out and get some fresh air.  

December 24th:  Merry Christmas Eve!!  It was a gorgeous day to get out on the skis, and show off a little holiday spirit, as well. 

That evening, it was off to the Whitney's for a fun-filled Hawaiian-themed Christmas Eve!

December 25th:  Merry Christmas!! 

December 27th:  Abigail and my sister are reading the Harry Potter books.  Abigail got a lego set for Christmas.

My mom and Pete stopped by for a few nights on their way to Arizona for the month of January.  Tonight we took them ice skating at the Millcreek Center.

December 28th:  Today we explored the Utah Natural History Museum and then went to the Whitney's for games and pizza.

December 31st:  Happy New Year's Eve!!!   

You'll always see a puzzle in the works at our house.

November 2023

For some reason, I don't have many photos from the very beginning of November so we will start on November 11th.

November 11th: Every year, our friends have a wine and cheese party.  This year, the theme was Roaring 20's.

November 22nd: Today was a big day.  Emma and I went shopping for a dress for her first school dance!  I think we walked over 10,000 steps but mission accomplished!

Then it was home and straight to work on making her mini apple pies and pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving.

November 23rd:  Happy Thanksgiving!  It was a small crowd this year, but still just as fun!

Emma also made the pumpkin pie.

The game Telestrations is a must when we get the families together.

November 23rd: Andy and Emma got out for their first ski.  There wasn't full coverage but it was good enough for a couple of runs.

November 24th:  We struck out on getting a permit to cut down our Christmas tree in the Uintas this year.  The Park City Nursery had just the right one for us!

Then, Abigail and a friend spend a couple of hours at Woodward.

November 25th:  The Utah Utes played the Colorado Buffaloes today--last home game of the season.  It was a chilly, sunny afternoon for football.

The head coach for the Colorado Buffaloes is Deion Sanders. (He is the gold shoes.)
