December 2012

Here it is December and Christmas has come and gone.  What a fun month we had this month....starting with my niece's wedding at the Draper Temple. 

The Newlyweds

My siblings and dad (Nate, Lynette, Dad, Paula, Myself and Joe)

We also were able to enjoy our Family Christmas Party, where we eat, enjoying each others assocation and exchanging White Elephant Gifts.  This has become quite the traditional and we all seem to be on the hunt for the best White Elephant Gifts throughout the year.  Some of the gifts that showed up this year include bowling balls, Records, Jewelry box, a box of old cell phones, Richard Simmons outfit and Videos, A fancy Hat and a Calendar (yes, it is a 2013 calendar).

Here is Aaron in his attempt to find the best Gift at the Party.

Also, my sister gave me a Amaryllis to plant this year....and yes, it bloomed.  Reminds me of my Mom and how she would always have one at Christmas time.  It was definitely fun to watch it grow.

 

Actually ended up for 4 big blooms!

At the end of this Christmas Season, and as the New Year approaches, we  hope that 2013 will be a  great year that is  full of happy times and great memories for all our family and friends.
