Post Christmas Highlights

A few days after Christmas, my mom and dad sang at the DC Temple Festival of Lights. We went to see their double quartet perform. Aren't they a cute, Christmasy couple?

The grounds were, of course, stunning.

Here's the family group that was in attendance. Can you spy John peeking out from behind Adam and me? Hyrum was too fascinated by the temple to look in the direction of a camera phone. Not a bad place to set one's sights, though.

Joel and Spencer had some fun with Nerf guns. This is one dynamic duo. We are really, really going to miss Joel when he goes to college next year.

Here we are saying our farewells to Dan when he had to head back to TX for work. 

While the boys were busy with swords and Nerf guns, the girl cousins, led by Aunt Trina, had some marvelous dress-up time. Here are Trina, Emma, and Lily modeling their lovely costumes. Trina is such an imaginative playmate. We sure love her!

*Not sure if Sarah wants this remembered, but because this is a bit of a family history it is probably worth noting that my poor sweet sister had mono and pneumonia over Christmas. A double whammy. She is a trooper. Even though she didn't feel well, she was still admirably cheerful and, thankfully, has mended nicely.
