Snow!

Cael enjoyed the snow in Flagstaff

with Grandma and Aunt Kirsti.

He even got Grandma with a snowball,

but I hear she got him back.

The Forgotten Carols

Uncle Lon and Aunt Jennifer bought us all tickets

to The Forgotten Carols as a Christmas gift.

We were able to attend with almost all of our family

(Uncle Stephen and Uncle Tyson and their

families weren't able to be there.)

It was a wonderful production, as usual,

and you enjoyed the singing and the jokes.

(You didn't understand them,

but you laughed along with the audience.)

We are so grateful to Uncle Lon and Aunt Jennifer

for giving us the opportunity to feel the Spirit

and make a family memory.

Little Moments that Touch My Heart

I went into the kitchen and found

this message on the side of the refrigerator.

"The children were nestled all snug in their beds..."

One night when Mom returned home

from a girls' night out, this is what she found.

Elder Davis

Cael's pal, Austin, is on

his mission in Portland, Oregon.

For Thanksgiving, we sent him

this turkey greeting...

...and Elder Davis sent

this letter in return.

We love Austin and are so proud

of him for serving the Lord

for two years.

We thank him for the example

he is to Cael

and for how much he loves him.

"Happy Fanksgiving!"

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving

in Holbrook at Aunt Kirsti's house.

The food was amazing, the company was great,

and Mom's Redskins beat the Cowgirls.

It was a great day.

Cael the photographer made an appearance

to document the day and those in attendance.

You took all these pictures

except the two you are in.

Great job, buddy!

Go Redskins!

Playing at Home

Cael has quite the imagination,

and he uses it to entertain himself when we are at home.

I constantly discover him playing

in funny and interesting ways.
