CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAY
A group shot
Waiting for the show to begin
After dinner we took a trolley ride up and down main street. Woohoo!! Of course we had to stop at the Rocky Mtn. Chocolate factory for some goodies! Good Stuff!
"The lovebirds:)"
On Thursday night Rick and I had a night out. We first made a stop at the temple and then had dinner at "The Garden". It was a big night downtown what with the Tab Choir concert going on so we waited an hour to be seated. Actually it worked out well. After dinner we walked to Abravenel Hall and got seated for the Kurt Bestor concert. That was really nice....here we are at intermission. That night we stayed at Anniversary Inn and had the luxury of sleeping in. We left by 11 the next morning and spent the day Christmas shopping. It was a great week full of Christmas Celebrations!

MORP
Gary went to MORP last Saturday night. His date was Ashlee May and they doubled with Gary's best friend Wyatt and Ashlee's best friend Jamee. He had a really fun time. They began their date at Jamee's house where they made homemade pizzas and then played the Wii. Afterward they went to the dance and took pictures.... then WITHOUT even dancing they left to go bowling. Don't they look cute in their superhero shirts. High School....ain't it great!!
housemates
BIG NEWS!!! We now have 6 more people living at our house. Rick's sister and her family moved in with us at the beginning of the month. Trent and Kathy and 4 of their children (Jenni, Julie, Chris, and Kallie are now living in our basement. Well, actually Julie is upstairs in the guestroom with Kendra:) It is working out very well. They have been living in TN for the last 7 years and now they are back. Trent started his new job at Maxwell Products and we are delighted that they are here.....especially for the Christmas season. We have already been having lots of fun as you will see in later posts.

ELDER PHELPS
This picture was taken on his 20th birthday back in August. He was so excited about this cake. They ordered it from a bakery and it looked so delish....but unfortunately it looked better than it tasted:(
got fixed at the zapateria. Much better!
Skylar and Elder Skinner (who looks so much like his cousin Dalton)

Halloweeeeeeen
I thought I would post some pictures of the kids from Halloween night. Kait and Leesh were able to come home for the weekend so that was fun. We had a fun Halloween Dinner on Friday night. On the menu was...Dinner in a Pumpkin (the kids LOVED that), Mummy Dogs, Witch Broom breadsticks, veggies and dip and Rick's homemade rootbeer. Afterwards we watched Wait Until Dark (with Audrey Hepburn) and had apples with carmel dip for dessert!
Saturday was the ward Trunk or Treat. The twins had a fun time dressing up and helping to pass out candy to the the kids!

COUPLES RETREAT
This weekend we had a fun outing with Rick's brothers and sisters. For the last 21 years Rick and I have been hosting a Halloween Party in late October. This year we changed it up a bit. We spent 2 nights up at Brighton Ski Resort (if anyone is wondering why we have gone there so much it is because Superior did the parking lot of the Brighton Chalets and so we have some trade on their condos up there:) Thursday evening we took a stroll around Silver Lake. On our way to dinner we saw a cow moose and her baby. COOL STUFF! Later that night we sat around visiting, playing games, and telling funny stories. I was laughing so hard I could hardly breathe! You know how it gets when it's late and your tired....that's how it was!
Larry, Darla, Kathy, Trent, Rick and I.

Here's a picture of Rick with a belated b-day gift from Kathy....

THE PUMPKIN PATCH
Last Monday night for family night we headed out to the
pumpkin patch!
Kendra has been waiting for this for a couple of weeks now. It's kinda becoming tradition for us. The patch was NOT very good this year but we still found some decent pumpkins. What cute kids!! It's so cute to see how much they love each other. They get along really well!
