Friends

During our very short visit to Tampa we got to reconnect with some good friends.  I didn't have my camera with me so this really is the best shot I have of that visit, taken on my phone.  we have a wonderful visit, even if it was much too short.

Raking Leaves

The boys love raking the leaves, they would do it all day if they could but we just don't have that many leaves.

Dallin takes it very seriously,  he is careful to make sure each leaf is getting to the pile.

 Grant thinks the point of having a pile of leaves is to jump in it and have fun.

Christmas on the Beach

 A trip to Florida always includes a day at the beach, and this trip was no exception.  We had a great time building sand castles and collecting sea shells with our cousins.

 Most of our time was spent running back and forth to the ocean to collect the water to fill the mote for this massive creation.... it never did get filled, but we sure tried.

Katelyn was in heaven because she had 4 girl cousins to play with... Lauren is her same age... added bonus.

Kid Biz

 Katelyn and Dallin were in a performance group called Kid Biz, they learned songs and dances and did performances throughout the community,  they did a great job, Katelyn even had a solo and Dallin sang in a few small groups. We weren't sure how well our kids would do preforming in front of others, we have some pretty reserved genes in our family, but they did well.

 Katelyn made a lot of friends, her favorite part was playing "Red Rover" after every practice.

Dallin, all smiles after a great performance.
