Ward Xmas Party

We had our Ward Christmas tonight.  We had Anna with us overnight, so was able to go with us and be in the Nativity with Riley.  Aren't they so cute in their angel and shepherd attire.  Good times!!

Our Trek Family Picture!!

After we added Michael to our family trek picture, we decided to have print them up for all our youth in our family and give it to them for christmas.  We will always have a bond with these youth.  We love them!!!

Santa visit @ Browns

The yearly tradition of having Santa come to the grandparents home.  Erika had alot of homework that night, so she didn't get to sit on Santa's lap.  As always it is alot of fun to spend time together during the holiday with family, but we were glad to be done for the evening and head home.

PHS Choir Holiday Concert

Riley and the other PHS Choirs performed tonight for the Holiday Concert.  As always, it sounded amazing.  Mr. Wiser even had his Barbershop group, The Saltairs, sing to the students and parents.

Bulb Wreath

My neighbor and friend, Nancy, made this for me to hang on the door for christmas.  She is so talented and sometimes I wonder where she gets her good ideas.  She said that she has been saving and looking at DI for the past 6 months, collecting and buying all the christmas bulbs she can find.  She said there is about 90 bulbs on this wreath.  She strung it all on a hanger and then added the purple bow to the top.  She gave it to me for christmas, but she had to give it to me early, so I could have it up for christmas.  I decided since it is purple, it can stay up all year long.

Erika Violin Duet

Erika was asked by her Grandma Bette, to play a violin duet for her ward's RS Christmas Dinner.  She asked her friend Caitie to play with her. They choose to play Silent Night by Larry Bebee, which are her favorite arrangements.  As always, they did an awesome job performing.

Like Father like Son!!

At our monthly family dinner, this is a familiar position for Grandpa and Brian in the Living Room.  We even heard a little bit of snoring together.

Riley PHS Choir Holiday Dinner

Riley was in the PHS Choir's Holiday Dinner.  It was on Saturday and there was a Matinee show and a Dinner Show, which Riley had to be to both.  He had to be at the Provo Library at 1:00 pm and finished at 10:00 pm.  It was a long day for him.  We purchased tickets for two for the dinner show, which were $20 a piece.  Cameron and I went together, because Brian flew to Germany for two weeks for work.  We enjoyed a dinner and a great program put on by all the different choirs.

Brian to Germany & England

Brian left today to go to Germany for a week and then England for week for his work.  He is training the German and London offices on the new software (Cloud).  He seems to always go around Christmas time, which kind of stinks, because the rest of us can't go, because of work and school.  He will be all messed up with his sleeping patterns, but oh well.
