Temple Lights...

is another family tradition that we really look forward to. Its fun to go and see if there has been any new lights added. This year they added this beautiful star above the nativity scene.

True meaning of Christmas

Sometime before Christmas the Brimhalls get together for dinner then we have a program. The little people dress up as Joseph, Mary, Wisemen, Shepherds and Angels. While one of the teenagers read from the scriptures the younger children reenact the birth of Christ. There have been years we've gone through the story several times since all the little girls want to be Mary. This is a fun family tradition that the kids love and at the same time reminds us all of the True meaning of Christmas!

Big helpers

Gabe had been buggin for about a week to get the lights on the tree so when I finally got around to it the lights I've used for several years had a short. So I went the next day and bought new ones. My kiddos were having fun helping me decorate(or in Kortney's case undecorate) the tree.

Anber Winter Performance

Anber is taking 2 different dance classes, 1 is during school and the other is after. She's having alot of fun learning new dance steps. This last Wednesday the choir and dance had their winter performance, it was a really cute program. The above picture they are dancing to 'Sittin on the dock of the bay'

Turkey Day Round 2

For as long as I can remember my dad has left Thanksgiving Day to go quad riding at the dunes. This year he still wasn't feeling good from his last surgery in October so he didn't go. Since most of us already had plans at the in laws we had our get together the Saturday after turkey day. With 17 grandkids our get togethers are VERY LOUD but the kids all have a blast and enjoy spending time with each other! I look at this picture and wonder why I'm the oldest of 5 and I have the OLDEST and YOUNGEST grandchildren?!?
