Christmas Eve day

The guys went hiking at usery park, and Lisa invited us over to decorate cookies and ice cream cones. We all had a blast. Grandma even came to join in on the fun! Afterwards, we went to the dollar store and the kids picked out presents for grandpa and grandma Foy. We then delivered them and spent a few minutes there! It was a good morning.











Fire

The Saturday before Christmas we had Jeremy, Lisa, Zane, and Alia over for a campfire in our new fire pit! We roasted hot dogs and had s'mores. We had so much fun!!!

Temple

Last night we took the kids to the temple to see the lights. They loved it! I love the stages they are at and how their eyes fill with wonder. The world, to them, is full of magic.

Afterwards, we went to Dairy Queen for a treat. As we were sitting and enjoying our blizzards, I noticed an elderly gentleman sitting by himself eating. I felt sad for him, but didn't do anything but smile at him as he got up to leave. A couple of minutes later he came to our table, dropped a gift card, and said, "Merry Christmas!" It made our day! He had bought us a fifteen dollar gift card to dq. A million thanks to this kind man, I hope he is blessed a million times for showing us this kindness. It was a wonderful experience. Life is grand.
