Best Time of the Year.

We have been busy around here as is always the case during Christmas time...the excitement acute for the kids.  We have been going to lots of bball games on Tuesdays as Joaquin's team is undefeated and making it to a few Utah games as well.

Laney also had her dance recital and did a great job singing "Let it Go" stealing the show.  Shauna will have to post the video since I was not close enough to get a good shot.

Joaquin got an award at school for his success in the class room.

Joaquin's class also went to caroling to a retirement home near the school.

We have had parties and also headed out see the lights a temple square.  We went late in the year and managed to avoid the massive crowds that are around during most of December.

As always, have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Wow!!

Just had to drop by my blog and say Merry Christmas to all those feeling the joy- and especially for those that may not be feeling so much joy.  Maybe this dunk will cheer you up.  All I can say is that kid is a magician.

Also, Joaquin has been playing J Jazz the last month and working hard to get better. He has been dribbling the ball around the house...and I just let him.  Guess I know where my priorities are.  Keep it up Joaquin and you may end up like Delon.
