December Doings

Jeff and Sarah wanted me to watch Eli and she came bearing gifts--the gift of fresh, homemade rolls. She is such a bread-making expert these days, and I so rarely bake anything anymore, and I'm always begging her to bring me what she bakes.


The joke of the day was I was going to surprise her by trying out a new recipe and making pretzel bites for them to eat with our dinner that evening. I definitely had my fill of homemade bread stuff that day!


It's always a treat for the little kids to have their grandpa make popcorn. They line up for the show...


...and got an extra show when Glen sang the popcorn popping song for them while waiting for the kernels to start popping. So cute!


Ben brought his girlfriend, Ginger Dall, up to spend last Sunday with us.


We hooked up with the Excell family to go hear Zack speak in church.


It didn't take Zack long to get out of his Sunday clothes after the meeting. We wish him well in the New Mexico Farmington mission.


Mike and Lorene put on a lovely dinner after church. It was held in a nursery that doubles as a reception center.




Nani wasn't the only one in red that day.


Santa made an appearance.


Ho ho ho!!!

My friend brought over a festive holiday treat--decorated cake balls. I thought it was a very cute presentation.


Just in case anyone was wondering if we left the lovely blue BYU cap hanging on our tree--yes we did. Glen just adjusted it a little higher on the tree.


Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

OK...BYU hat replacing the star may be just a bit extreme...even for me.

I'm embarrassed I was sporting my scarf in both of those pictures. Thanks to Grandpa Thomas, Eli was able to perform the popcorn song on demand for the Excell Christmas Tea and Recital.
