Today is the first time my kids have no school due to snow. It started to snow around 4:00pm yesterday and it actually stuck to the ground. We knew last night that school had been canceled due to snow. Kids played all evening in the snow and they fell asleep around 11:00pm. I bundled up and went out and built a small snowman and put together some snowballs to get John when he got off work. I hid around the corner and waited...and waited some more. By time he got out of his car I had become the snowman. I did get him though. My family woke up early and went outside to the snow they made another snowman, built a fort, snow angels, and had a snowball fight. We wish you were all here to enjoy the fun with us!!!
I started my volunteering this week at the temple. I am so blessed to have the chance to go to the temple 2hrs a week every Saturday and work in the locker room. It is organized and so peaceful even in there.
While I was in the temple it had started snowing and the kids had taken ALOT of pictures with my camera. Both of my kids are outside in the cold and snow with no shoes on.
It's snowing and mom is gone! We are dreaming of a white Christmas! The kids are jumping for JOY!
Our family tradition is to read a Christmas story every night until Christmas. We also added this year, advent calendar from The New Era. It has something to do every night and Dec.15 was to write a Christmas list of things to give. Abby told me and I wrote for her. I thought it was sweet and was amazed at the things she thought to give. I really thought she would give everyone a barbie. Abby would like to give daddy new shoes. Mommy-New temple shoes. Alex- beautiful dress. Ashley-doggie. Jonathan-game. Aubrey-pink slippers. I know it's nothing like world peace I was just more amazed at how well she knew what each person would like.

How awesome that you get to volunteer at the temple every week. Looks like the girls had great fun in the snow. We're dreaming of a white Christmas too (in Utah). We'd have to dream really hard for snow in Chandler AZ
That is awesome that you are going to the Temple and volunteer. That is special. Thanks for sharing the sweet story.
That is so fun. Your girls are so cute. Your family really seems to be enjoying living in St. George. I am happy you get to work in the temple, that is really neat. I was just giving you a hard time about not seeing me when you were down too. Although next time you come it would be fun to go to lunch or something. I realize you have a ton of people to try to see though so I understand.
What a great example you have been to your children. You and John are such great parents! I so love the pictures of your kids outside jumping and playing in the first snow. That is always so fun for them to see snow falling while at home!
Ha ha -- love the pictures and Abby's giving list. Nate has decided he wants to give me a water bottle this year :D
It really sounds like life is great for you up there. I am so happy for you.
