Christmas Concert

So this year Oliver and I had a chance to go to SLC for the Christmas Concert. Well little did we know how early we needed to be there. We met up with Oliver's parents in Sandy and headed down for the conference center. When we got to SLC it was crazy busy and there were huge lines to get into the conference center. Well as we got to one of the lines the volunteer told us that there were no more seats available and they were not letting anyone else in. (Lesson learned...leave extra early for the Christmas concert)! We got back in our car and headed for home. Oliver and I did stop at Maverick and enjoyed a nice cup of Hot cocoa together. At least I still got to spend the night with mt best friend.

Birthday Surprise!

For my birthday this year Oliver threw me an early surprise party with his family. We all met at Red Robin and celebrated my birthday and Cameron's birthday. I know Oliver and Laura had put a lot of thought and effort into the night. I am grateful for my sweet husband and his thoughtfulness.

FHE

For FHE a few weeks ago we walked over to our neighbors house to put kits together for an upcoming Relief Society activity. As you could imagine our husbands were extremely happy to help..LOL We needed to put close to 80 kits together and decided we needed to enlist help. It was really fun watching the kids get so excited about helping with the kits. It ended up being a great night with family and friends.

Ward Christmas Party

These were just a couple of pictures we took at our ward Christmas party. We always love going and being reminded of the true meaning of Christmas. We really enjoyed the nativity and the music. I just love the Christmas season!

McKinley eating a delicious cookie! She had been asking for this cookie all night.

Our little Chef...

McKinley loves to help whenever I am in the kitchen. I am a little apprehensive about her helping around the stove, but daddy does not seem to mind. The other day I walked into the kitchen to find McKinley cooking eggs with dad helping on the sidelines of course....and needless to say she was happy to be cooking like a big girl.

Yummy eggs!
