"How shall this be?"

My mom sent me this link and I really loved it. It is just the spiritual upliftment I needed. I can't write as great as this woman did, but if I could I would be trying to express the same things she was.

This is something I definitely needed to read, and maybe it will be just what you need too.

It's Christmas!

Well it definitely feels like Christmas at our house. We have all of our Christmas decorations out and we've listening to Christmas music for a while now.

(Trevor decorated our tree:) didn't he do great!?)

Flash Game

Someone in one of Trevor's class gave him four free tickets to the Flash game at the McKay Events Center. Neither of us had ever been to one and so we were kind of excited, especially with all of the rumors about Michael Jordan showing up (which he definitely did not).

We took Brian with us and gave the extra ticket to Michael's boss. It was so fun to be there! I forgot how much I love an outing like that. Even if I didn't watch too much of the game, it's just fun being together.

GIVEAWAY!

I am having my very first giveaway! And here it is:

A perfect read to get you in the Christmas spirit! Written by my very own father. Leave a comment and a random winner will be chosen and sent a signed copy by the author himself. If you already have a copy but want to win it to give as a gift, leave the name of the person you want to give it to, and the author will inscribe it to that person.

Merry Christmas!

FHE with the Cox's

In the Cox family we draw names every year for sibling Christmas gifts, and every year the Cox's have a tradition of going to the mall together for a FHE activity to show each other what we would like and to sneakily by each other gifts. This year they came down to Orem! It was so fun feeding them dinner and then going to the University Mall together. Plus we got almost all of our shopping for the Cox's done!

Jeanette also brought me this:

She is seriously, so talented!

Thanksgiving '09

This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Cox family. We had a wonderful day. We had both sets of Trevor's grandparents there, his cousin, his aunt and uncle and their daughter, and four boys from Tyson's mission. We ate in the garage - Troy has the cleanest and most amazing garage I've ever seen; tiled floors and painted walls with decorations. Jeanette made the tables look beautiful.

My favorite part of the meal was definitely Troy's candied yams, so good! After dinner we rested for a while, just like you should after such a feast. We went and saw the movie Blindside after that. I really loved the movie, it was a touching story but it was also funny and completely entertaining. I would totally recommend it!

Happy Thanksgiving!
