Erik is an Eagle

The Court of Honor snuck up on me!  Anyway, it was a good evening, with many ward members there to support him.  I am so proud that he did it!!!!!  I am also grateful to have both my boys finished with scouting... it was a really good experience for both of them and they had some great experiences that only scouting could provide for them.

Holiday drive

Since the kids had no school and Tony didn't have to work yesterday, we took a drive. We ate lunch in Idaho Falls and did a little shopping. Then we drove to Swan Valley and got square ice cream at the Rainy Creek store. It was good to enjoy the sunshine and do something different.

On another note, Tony was sustained as second counsellor in the Bishopric on Sunday. It happened very fast so we couldn't invite anyone to be here.  Dad will ordain him as a High Priest on Thursday and he will be set apart at the same time.  We are a bit nervous, but also very excited for this chance to learn and serve.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert

We were blessed to get tickets to the Sunday morning concert. Even though we had to get up really early, it was well worth it. Spectacular production! We were moved to tears by the beauty and sweet spirit.  Then we wandered around Salt Lake, rode the trax, gave our snack to a homeless man, went to the library, ride the jingle bus, and saw temple square lights before heading home. It was a great weekend!

Heritage park

We headed to Salt Lake for a fun weekend. We went to the Heritage park and enjoyed their old fashioned Christmas activities such as making ornaments, live nativity, carolers, fresh donuts, a train ride, and warm gingerbread. Next went to Kent's home and enjoyed their hospitality and hot cocoa.

Star wars at KMart

I took the kids to do some Christmas shopping today.  These guys were at the store, promoting toys for tots. My kids thought it was really cool!

Christmas tree

Last night we finally got the tree decorated. We usually do it the day after Thanksgiving, but we are a little behind. Christmas excitement is in the air!
