Beautiful Lights at Temple Square
Music and the Spoken Word
We have always wanted to go to a live showing of the Mormon Tabernacle's Music and the Spoken Word, and what better time to do that than at Christmas! Temple Square is so beautiful this time of year!
Here is the choir after performing. It was so beautiful!

Rachel's Pierced Ears!
Rachel has wanted to get her ears pierced for awhile now, but was quite scared of the initial jolt. This held her back. But here we were, on vacation, in Utah, WITH AUNT MARILYN......she had to do it! The conditions were perfect! She knew that if she was with her mom and her crazy aunt, she could face anything!
Here she is, at Claire's before it all went down. She is looking quite confident.

More Utah Fun!
So here are some fun snow pictures from our recent trip to Utah. The day after we got there, it snowed! Rachel and Daniel were sooooo determined to build a snowman. Well, if you've ever experienced Utah snow, it's more like powder!
Here we are trying to get some snowballs started. We were pretty persistent...

Thanksgiving! (Farley style)
Here is Thanksgiving Farley style. After filling up with all the Anderson's, we headed to Bob and Kimi's home in Bountiful for the Farley's Thanksgiving. It started around 3:30. There were around 50 people there, and for those of you who don't know, we were missing quite a few! It was such a great time!
Here is one table, filled with lots of Farley's.

More crazies....especially you, Doug! Thanks for sharing!
Here is Jed and his Dad, Richard. (Richard is Sue's oldest brother....and the maker of all the pies!!!) Richard is an amazing dessert maker! He has mastered the art of baking! No one does it better! He had over 20 pies....10 different options. They were so good!
Here are the whip cream flippers! If you really want to know...just ask! It was so hilarious! Whip cream on the arm....flip it up....try to catch it in your mouth...you get the picture? Messy and very funny!
All in all, Thanksgiving was such a great day! We were surrounded by both sides of our amazing family, and we loved every minute of it! We are truly grateful for all our blessings!
Thanksgiving! (Anderson style)
We were so blessed to be in Utah for Thanksgiving, surrounded by all our family. We had a very full day and was able to see both sides of our family. We started the day off with the Anderson's. The big meal was at noon, and we had everyone there - all 20 of us. I think this is the first time we have had everyone together for this holiday.
Cute Chiara, Rachel and Megan - cousins - anxiously awaiting the yummy food!
