Tis the season!!

It 'tis the season you know!!! The ward Christmas party is over and the boys were both shepherds in the primary program... Rulon was the ultra serious shepherd, Mads was the finger sucking Shepherd. It was the first year the primary did a little program at the ward party since I have been attending and BOTH my boys were in it, fun! Can you spot them?
OK, here's Mads.

And Rulon.

It 'tis also the season for decorating the house, which the boys and I did this morning, IT WAS GREAT, they were so happy and full (way full) of energy. We even put up the Christmas tree... I haven't totally sold Chester on the "we're not buying a tree this year" decision, but when he sees how cute it is and hears how much the boys love it I think we'll be ok. I hope. Isn't it awesome, for FREE!!!

And no watering necessary and no pine needles to clean up afterwards!! HORAY.

So Merry Christmas everyone, get your decorations out - if you feel like it - we are now in the Christmas mood.

Thanksgiving in St. George

The morning we were to drive to St. George I woke up to the sound of Rulon running swiftly all ove the house... when I got out of bed I found that he had "packed some things for me." I alway put our things on the washer or dryer and Chester takes them out to the car, well, Rulon helped out, that's for sure. We had to talk about what a great job he did but how we had to scale down a bit!
Obviously I am BAD at taking pictures on vacations, this is the only one I took. At least I got a supre cute one!!
