December 2019

December started with me putting together our Christmas card.

The boys ran on the treadmill because they needed to do something physical and the air was horrible outside.

I visited Grandma Joyce and met my mom there to play Christmas music and eat lunch.

Mark learned a new way of tying flies. Then he caught some pretty big fish with them.

We played lots of Christmas music!

Mark was asked to set up Christmas Karaoke for two events in two days.  He set it up for the special needs activity he was in charge of and then for our ward Christmas party.

My young women were great at helping with the special needs Christmas party.

Timmy and Brian were good helpers too.  Timmy was the only one willing to say hi to santa though.

Both boys were good sports getting the Karaoke going at the ward party.


Later we went up to the ranch for the Samiclaus party.

They really wanted to dress like santa one day.

We made it for a quick trip to temple square with one of Mark's co-workers.

There were some beautiful sunrises in December!

I helped organize a youth activity at GetAir.

Timmy's Christmas program at school was really cute this year.

Mark taught the boys to punch correctly.

Another beautiful sunrise.

The Evans family put on a family concert for the residents at Grandma Joyce's care center.

Mark made a pretty amazing prime rib.

Christmas Eve Nativity!

The boys loved the Harry Potter advent calendar our friends gave us.

Christmas morning brought a nerf gun for Brian

And speed cubes and a gingerbread house for Timmy.  

Both kids were so good at sharing their gifts with each other.

Timmy spent lots of time figuring out his cubes.

During the break we went to Laser Quest with the Hsiao family for laser tag.  It was so much fun!

Mark gave some good ping pong lessons too.

We ended the year with the young women over for an activity.
