I was not a great picture taker while my family was out. :-( But it was wonderful to have the wedding on Friday so that the rest of the weekend could be stress free and not time crunched. (So that’s my new advice to people getting married: Do it on Friday.)
Grandpa multitasks for reading and watching Spencer play a computer math game. 
Saturday morning Grandma and Grandpa took the Jessie and Conrad, Rachel and Heather to the temple to do baptisms. It was Conrad’s first trip since turning twelve and how fun that he got to be here to do it with so much family. That night Rachel and Mom decided that a BBQ sounded like a tasty dinner and so they picked up the stuff and Ken got the grill ready. And can I just say, the food was heavenly! Ken’s following in his dad’s footsteps and boy does the future look tasty. And we were even done with dinner in time that we didn’t have to rush to Spencer’s concert. Yeah us!
We took up and entire row and had some lap sitters too!
The choirs did a great job. Spencer was so excited about singing The First Noel with the pretend candles. And it was pretty cool. On the way up Spencer asked what “noel” meant and we told him “Christmas in French.” So then we all sang The First Noel replacing the word Noel with Christmas. He thought that was so funny. 
Great job, Spencer!
My parents and Heather and her family went to SLC on Sunday after church, which was our Ward Choir’s Christmas program. Ken, Mark and Abbie sang in the choir and it was just beautiful. Neil loved finding dad when everyone stood up to sing. And they sang my favorite Christmas song again this year: Were you there? Mark knows it’s one of my favorites and told me he sang extra loud just for me. What a sweetie!
That evening Rachel and Becca joined us at Ken’s family for dinner and a sing-along. I just love Christmas songs.
I also took Becca’s school pictures. It was really funny. I snapped one picture, and she was looking at the camera and smiling and I wasn’t even sure if I needed to take anymore. We did take a few more, I think ten pictures total. So funny compared to the 27 or so I have to take of Spencer.
While Heather and Mom were packing the van to leave I tried to get a picture of Alexander and Neil together, but it just didn’t quite work. Ahhh…..fun times.
It was so fun having family here. I stayed up way too late most nights, but it was worth it. Love you guys!!

I like both of the bottom ones of the little guys. Spencer sure looks happy at the concert. Good for you guys :)
It was so much fun being there. To be able to here Spencer's concert and go to church with you all. The ward choir sounded real good!! Love to all.
It was nice having the rest of the weekend after the wedding!
It was so nice to be able to go to the temple with Conrad and so many family members! Thanks for watching the little ones so much while we were doing that and the quilt!
The BBQ was perfection, and made it smell and taste like summer!
The concert was heavenly! Spencer and the other angel voices were perfection! I wish Alexander would have been in a better mood! It was nice to be able to listen and let him get his wiggles out in the basement, kind of wish we would have started there :-)
It was nice to be able to spend time with Grandma and a few of the other relatives in Salt Lake.
Your pictures of Alexander and Neal may not be of them sitting still and sweetly smiling but i think that they are both so adorable! It make me happy just seeing them!
Thanks for hosting us again! I hope we can return the favor soon!
