Holiday Celebrations


Amy playing in the snow last week


Nebo Chorale with the Nebo Philharmonic
(Where's Waldo, anyone?)


Amy's class went on a field trip to the BYU Museum and Peoples and Cultures last week, and mom and Kara got to go along. They listened to Christmas stories from Mexico and Italy, learned about kachinas and Fourmile Ruin in Arizona, and got to make their clay pots. The girls had a ball!

Kara was so excited to go Christmas shopping for her sister. She picked out a Beanie Baby skunk, Disney Princess bubble bath, a candy cane and Skittles. She can't wait to give it to Amy!

Joy and Brenda will be celebrating their 11th anniversary on Friday! Anyone have any movies to recommend?

Happy National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day!

Where a Kid Can Be a Kid


Amy's choice for her birthday party this year:
Chuck E Cheese with a couple of friends
and bubble gum suckers


Kara playing the spider game


Amy decided on her own to memorize the Articles of Faith. She has been writing them over and over in a journal she got for her baptism and asking Mom and Dad to test her.

Kara is really enjoying her dance class, and she is always dancing at home. It seems to be a great place to channel her boundless energy.

Brenda's Christmas choir concert is on Tuesday. It's been a bit crazy trying to get prepared for it, but she is so excited! It seems to get better and better every year. Another local choir was recently invited to preform at Carnegie Hall in 2011, so she is hoping that will be a goal for the Nebo Chorale as well.

Joy made an appointment for the tub surround and vanity top to be done in the basement this Thursday. After that, we'll put the toilet in, and that room will be done.


QOSROIT: What is your favorite arcade game?


Happy National Cotton Candy Day!
