In the Midst of It: Christmas

We're trying to catch up a little. So much has happened and there's no time to blog it seems. Jordan posted a few pictures and I will write a little about them. These next two pictures are from a trip we took to Salt Lake. We went down there to attend the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Symphony Christmas concert. It was my first time in the Conference center and wow what a place! They had a guest singer from Norway-her name was Sissel and she was just fantastic. Very beautiful voice. The next day we went to the Gateway and took Heidi and Nathaniel to the build a bear workshop. They both chose the same animal-a leopard. Nate got a elf costume for his and Heidi's was a girl Santa dress. They loved doing that and thanked me over and over!

In the Gateway mall there is a sports store that has this great climbing wall. Kendall, Jonathan, and Nathaniel all climbed it. This picture is of Nate- he surprised me on how far up he went.

Here's our picture of Mike, Celestine, and Samuel when they came to see us. We had so much fun in what seemed like such a short time. We miss you already!!!! Look how tall Sammy is and how short I look :)!!!!

We had to rush and celebrate Jordan's birthday this year it seemed. Both Kendall and Jonathan had a band concert that night and all three of the boys had piano that day too. Happy 17 years old Jordan!!! He had his traditional Caramel Chocolate Pecan Torte-a super yummy Martha cake by the way.
