Christmas Eve in Utah

If any of you have been around long enough to read the posts from last year at this time you'll be happy to know that the anxiety level in down a bit from last year. With lots of deep breathing and a great herbal supplement call L-Theanine I've been able to cut the anxiety by about half; so now I'm only half crazy!


The ice cicles looked pretty with the lights, but remember; they're fun for kids to try to knock off the roof. I keep thinking I'm going to have Morgan walk in with one in her eye someday! I can't keep her away from them!

This one looks like a claw. Isn't it just amazing what our Heavenly Father has created for our entertainment?.
Christmas will be good this year. We have most of the kids with us this year. I know Bethany is in a good place with her Dad and Stephanie. We'll miss her. ( Love you Baby!) The Lord has been good to us this year.

My prayer this Christmas is for Him to watch over all of you my Friends and Family this season and into the next year. I love and appreciate all of you.

Merry Christmas

Dancing with a purpose

First let me just say," What a difference 5 years make!"






Morgan has started up dance again with Spirit Dance Productions; a group she was with when she was just five. How cute she was back then, What a poser she still is!




After the girls danced at the Festival of trees they went the next week to Jordan Valley, a school for the mentally challenged. It's a little uncomfortable at first for the girls because most of these students don't have a lot of control over themselves. They make noises, they twitch, they drool, they yell out at inappropriate times; but they love having the girls there to entertain them!


At the end the girls passed out gifts to the children. It was a good experience...I don't know if Morgan got "it" but hopefully it's a day she'll remember as a time to do for others during the Christmas season.

Nate Has a New Car!

Well, really when you look at how big he is next to the car you may think he got a matchbox car and not a real "BIG BOY" car.


Nate is one lucky guy!!!

We were very fortunate to find this rare "one owner" 88,000 Mile 1990 Honda CRX DX 5 speed! This rust free beauty has never been crashed, painted, or abused (except for the big dent in the passenger door)
If you are into the Honda game you will know that this is indeed a very rare find!

Nate has lots of great ideas of how he and Dad are going to fix this baby up, of course in Hanson style.

Plans are to get the paint back to a nice factory shine without any dents or dings

And lots of other goodies

Best of all this car gets 45 miles per gallon and only sports 67 horsepower!

OHHHH YAAAA....

I love you turkey

I love you all, just like these two love each other. How special.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The end of my favorite Holiday!

Welcome

This is one of the few times that I buy candy for the house...much to my children's dismay


I didn't know suckers were so easy to make!




This is what I do. It's my "thing." Halloween is way too big at my house but with the help of my sweetie we make it a pretty good production and if I'm lucky we scare a few little kids in the process!

Hope you all had a great HALLOWEEN!
