Last week was such a busy week so imagine my thrill when one of my visiting teachers showed up with these lovely roses. They have been thoroughly enjoyed and so very appreciated.

Here is just a sample of
some of the things from our week:
Monday: almost three hour long camp meeting to orientate the new East Stake YCL leaders (amazing ladies who will do a terrific job with their new callings!)
auditions for molly - pick up at 5:30 then she'll go to the Messiah sing-in
drama for reid - pick up at 6:30
Tuesday: volunteer at the elementary school
auditions for Molly - pick up when she calls then take her to astronomy star gazing gathering
Austin to band concert
yoga for Chase (photo taken outside of yoga), love that pure smile of his after a session of yoga:
RS enrichment for me later that evening.
Wednesday:Molly auditions
Reid choir concert at the Vail Theater of the Arts. He did an amazing job, we are so happy he's enjoying choir.

Following Reid's concert Molly and I went to Young Women for a progressive Christmas activity. The Beehives were in charge and it was a wonderful evening. We went to three houses and had a different activity at each home. The first we decorated sugar cookies for ourselves and some to send the the soldiers. The second home we each made a cute ornament and the third home we listened to the story of the birth of Jesus from the scriptures and enjoyed our refreshments. Also at each home our hosts told us some of their favorite Christmas memories.
Thursday:Molly's high school choir concert.
She is in both concert choir and show choir so it's fun to be able to watch her throughout the evening.
Friday:The entire family went to see Chase perform with the elementary school choir. He did a great job!

After the choir concert we went as a family to the 9 p.m. Gaslight theater Christmas show. It was a late evening for all but everyone really, REALLY enjoyed the show!


Molly has been having too much fun making strange faces for the camera!
It was a Boeing evening at the Gaslight so it was fun to see the individuals James works with on a daily basis.
