Happy 90th Birthday, Grandpa!

I love this picture of him... having Christ in the picture with him describes him well!

On December 2nd my Grandpa Black turned 90 years old!! What a sweet and cute old man he is! I have some really fun memories of him and have looked up to him and his example for so many years. It was so fun to be able to celebrate his big day! There was an open house for him on December 4th, and it was great to see all people who came to show their love.

Thanksgiving in St. George!


We got to go to St. George for Thanksgiving this year, and what a fun time we had! It was still cold there, but nothing like what home was, so we were happy to be warmer. We left on Tuesday and just played and got ready for the big thankful day! Thanksgiving dinner was super YUM (thanks Mom and Jo for the yummy-ness!) and after dinner we went to see "Tangled". What a cute movie. Could be one of my fav's from Disney for a while now too.




Then onto Black Friday! This is always a highlight for all of us!! Jared, Beck and I went to the Walmart midnight sale. WHAT A JOKE!!! St. George is not the place to shop BF for sure. Lots of people (and I know what a lot of people are, but this was bad!). Then we were going to go to Target, but after seeing Walmart, we were done for the night (LAME, right?!). But we were up early and out the door and were still successful.

Later Friday night, we went to the St. George Temple for a little devotional type thing and lighting of their lights. That was really fun to be there for that.

Then on Saturday night we went to Tuachan to see their lights, go on a little train ride, see Santa, and a live Nativity. HIGHLIGHT of my Christmas so far (And yes, it's only the 2nd of December, but it will be a hard one to beat!). What a fun time... Zack and Talon loved the lights, seeing Santa, and the train the best! What a great way to get into the Christmas holiday spirit!!





THANKS FAM FOR EVERYTHING... I LOVE YOU ALL!
