I just had to share this cute picture. Kristen and Jon went IKEA to explore the big store. They text this picture to me of Baby Timothy. Timothy is even grabbing the handle. What a cute little boy! He is twelve weeks old this week.
It's a tradition that we take the kids to Tocanos once a year. Usually during the Christmas holiday. We finally made it this weekend. This year we had a couple of extra new-comers. Last year Jon was in Casper and Timothy wasn't born yet. The tradition continues. Kristen was actually eating meat (beef), and Taconos lost their money on Kevin. Mr. Healthy(Kev) didn't have salad and couldn't get enough meat. Timothy just stared at the food. Maybe next year he can have a bite of some fruit or vegetables. We all left with happy tummies.
We spent the evenings playing Dominos. I'm pretty sure there was some cheating going on, but no one will confess.
Each of us had a recorded remote for a self-guided tour. Grandpa Anderson is sitting by the sheep listening to their story. Grandma Anderson posses by the giraffe from Africa.
At first Grandma Anderson was upset the tourist were on their cell phones. Guess what? She had one too (the remote). She couldn't figure out why all these people had their cell phones on. I guess you had to be there.

Grandma and Grandpa Anderson found a place to hike and repel. Kevin brought his ropes and gear ready to climb. Of course Oliver and Tulip loved the walk.
Kyle went first. This was his first time repelling off a cliff. It's a lot different than repelling in our backyard. He was awesome.
Kevin is superman. He really enjoys this danger stuff. I had a hard time watching. He was very cautious and made sure everything was hooked up correctly. They made it to the ground safely. Wow!


Nathan brought his scuba gear so the boys could go scuba diving in the pool. We rented some tanks from a St. George scuba shop. They dove both Monday and Tuesday in the pool at the RV Park where my parents are staying.
We headed back to Pleasant Grove on Wednesday morning. There was a big snow storm moving in and we wanted to beat the storm. Well, we became part of the storm. Cars were off the road, sliding with the icy conditions. We made it home safely, but it was a nail biter.


Baby Timothy slept the whole Christmas morning. Grandpa cooks up some baby :)
Kristen got Jon some "Indiana Jones" cuff links. Go figure. I've never seen anyone so happy in my life. His expression was priceless when he opened them. Amazing...
Kevin and Kyle received watches that Nathan had fixed. They use to be Grandpa Criman's old watches. They are still ticking. Kristen took Sally for a ride on the four-wheeler. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Nathan and I just celebrated our twenty-second anniversary. Our Heavenly Father has truly blessed our lives. We are very blessed with many family and friends and especially each other. 




On December 18th, we went to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. We had an early dinner at Mi Mi's Cafe in Sandy and then headed to SLC. We arrived early so we walked around temple square. Kevin was helping Justin Allred in Logan install a wooden floor so it was just Nathan, Kyle and I. It had been a long time since we walked around the square. It was very beautiful with the Christmas lights. We need to go back soon when we have more time to see the exhibits. Kyle doesn't remember much about temple square. He wasn't very old when we were there last.
