mid-Nov-mid-Dec

We managed to have some fun during the months of November and December.

The most important thing was celebrate Damon's birthday.  Birthday's are amazing.  It means you have another year to celebrate life and have new adventures.  Damon just wanted a nice quiet evening at home with cookies for dessert.  He does love cookies and we love him.
For Thanksgiving we went to Arizona to visit the Melanson's and other friends.  We had such a wonderful time visiting with them and the rest of our friends and family we have there.  Arizona is such an easy place to love because that's where I spent my childhood.  It's a very comfortable feeling.  Everything is familiar.  We had a grand time there.
 We stopped by Glen Canyon Dam on the way down to Phoenix.  It was quite the drive.

 I have pictures of these kids over the years.  I love watching them grow up.
  No trip is complete to Phoenix without stopping by Mary Coyles.  It was made even better when going with the person I spent most of my childhood with. We had a nice visit with Amanda's family.

 As a family we went out to Midway and went on a sleigh ride.  It was so pretty and so much fun!!
We also went to the tree lighting ceremony at the park near our house.

We had lots of gatherings at our house during December.  Two fun ones where the snowman building activity with friends and the Gingerbread house activity with family.  Both evenings were really fun.



 We had our Ward Christmas party, Lily had her ballet recital and Noah had a band concert.
