The Season is Upon Us

The Friday after Thanksgiving while David was at the BYU/Utah football game I rocked through the house getting ready for the Christmas Season. It took more than just that day but we are almost ready for the big event. It is a wonderful season that makes me so grateful for the gospel and our Savior and for the forever family that can be ours. You are my gifts and treasures.
We celebrated our Anniversary December 5th because of David's very busy Bishoping day on Sunday. We were going to take a picture in our Sunday best but just in case we couldn't get to it we snapped this one the day before. Not our best but ok. Sunday after dinner we were relaxing with Lindsay and Chris and his girlfriend, Laura when Brett and Claudia arrived to take us to Matthew's Salt Lake Children's Choir performance in the Catholic Cathedral. When we were accepting congratulations on our anniversary, I said that it was our 45th. Brett said "Mom, I'm 45!" What??? Had we lost a year? Well, turns out...Whose counting when you're having fun. 46 it is! Wow! I don't feel much older than 45 myself! Senior moment? Maybe, but yes, I do know my name and how old I am. Don't worry.
This is the beautiful cathedral. The concert was amazing. Those children's voices were one pure voice. Everyone should have a chance to go to this concert. I thought I was hearing angels.

Matthew at intermission looking so handsome. He is the youngest one in the advanced choir. This is the only good picture I got of him because we couldn't see him from where we were sitting during the performance. Thankfully, Claudia took this for me.
So with all the concerts and preparations we are already loving the season. Merry Christmas to all.
