"Live Long and Prosper"

Great advice given to me today by one of my first graders. Mind you he has a raspy, froggy sounding voice which made the moment even funnier.

Thanksgiving did not disappoint this year. Everything was incredible: the food, the family time, the weather, the shopping, the movies, the kinect parties, the black Friday chaos, and all the classic moments in between. Liz surprised Charlene for her birthday and came down with the kids. We have the cutest nieces and nephews. We got to celebrate Charlene and Paige's birthdays over the break and even got to go to our good friends' wedding. We were sad to come back to Utah, but I will say that I do better with a routine and I missed my kids. I thought I'd be more depressed going back to work after the break, but it definitely put a smile on my face to be with my students again. Now it's just three more weeks until Christmas break!

A family that dances/plays kinect together, stays together.

My sister asked me to take some pictures of her and our cousins. Since it was so much fun playing around and taking pictures with Meg a few weeks ago I agreed. We had so much fun just goofing around and it's awesome getting to be creative with my family. We got a lot of really cool shots which is a plus. I'm putting this new camera to good use, which is easy with pretty girls like these.
