Our December

On the way home from Grantsville for Thanksgiving, we decided to make our annual Temple Square trip while we were already in SLC. It was such a great decision.  Far less crowded... warmer temps... and again, FAR less crowded.  And yet, every bit as beautiful and it set a good tone to begin our Christmas season.  We love Temple Square!
 (yeah, i'm that far behind updating that I can post time hop photos from facebook now. Pitiful)







Later in December, a ward friend of ours gave us free tickets to the Jazz game. It was VERY FIRST! Way way fun date night. 

We love decorating for Christmas.  





One day Luke, Linaya and I went to breakfast. I don't remember where the sisters were, but it was fun to spend some focused time on the littlest member of the family. 


The BIG sisters had their winter dance recital.  They are so totally cute! 



Another classy YM/YW activity night.  Ugly sweater contest :) 


Tianna and Adelia had their school Christmas parties... lots of sugar was consumed that day! 

But apparently it was not enough because we felt the need to make Christmas cookies a few days later. 


Grandpa and Grandma lake sent us a gift card for Christmas while they were still on their mission in Georgia.  We used it to go to our family's favorite restaurant in Payson-- Tadka. Mmmmm Indian food! 



Thanksgiving weekend

We made the mistake of going to free zoo day at Hogle Zoo.  It WAS DEFINITELY a ZOO! We had fun, but it was super super crowded... and we lost Aden.  He wandered away and made his way to Grandma's car (which was locked, but miraculously wasn't when he got to it.) so he climbed in and stayed there while we were frantically looking over the entire zoo.  Eventually a security guard found him safe and sound...... the rest of us needed therapy.











After the crazy zoo event, we went to Grantsville to spend Thanksgiving with Courtney and James at their home.  It was tasty and fun :) 







November in a Nutshell

Mary had a Norwex party in Logan... while she did that, the rest of the family  met up with our Logan BFF's (the Smith family) to go to the Jump Zone




On Nov 15th we had our first (and pretty much last) good snowstorm if the winter. It was fun playing on our sloped yard with the next door neighbor kids (the Marchants)


 Meet Fred the snowman




Adelia lost her second tooth.  (the first came out before she was even 5!) 


On November 21st, our sweet niece, Jaycee was born. Welcome to the Jason Frandsen family! :)
