Fun visit at Julie's new house 12/12

Kellie and I discovered today that Julie is almost exactly halfway between our homes. Since McKay was busy all day with preparing for finals Kellie decided to have an adventure by bringing the kids to Julie's by herself. I was happy to jump in the car and join them. Julie and Dan have found themselves a very nice situation with a house they can grow into and good neighbors.

Mack and I bonding while everyone is napping.

Levi and Emme were fighting over holding Mack so the solution; both hold him.

This just says it all; "We hate shopping at Old Navy, can we go home now?"

It was a nice day and I look forward to many more of these!

Festival of Trees 12/3/11

For the past 10 years or so Dale and I have gone to the Festival of Trees. We are always amazed at the sacrifice that goes into each tree and the stories that motivate this sacrifice. This is a very worthy event to support.

This year we met up with Dan, Julie, Levi and Zack. Julie made the cute reindeer hats!

Since "Up" is one of my favorite movies, I loved this tree.

Scones and sweet rolls.......Yummmm

The "Tangled" tree is another favorite

Dale thought these stools might be fun to make!
