Our Christmas Tree

Well it is no "Rockafeller" tree, but this year our tree had a journey of its own. Over Thanksgiving weekend, We went with my dad and family up the mountains to pick our perfect tree. We found our perfect tree, but then we had to move it to Provo. We wrapped it in a tarp and strapped it to the top of our car. It made it home and with a little trimming, ok a lot of trimming, we were able to put it up and decorate it. Gracie has already eaten almost all of the candy canes off of it, and since we don't have many decorations, it is already looking quite bare. None the less we had a great family adventure getting our tree this year.

The Annual Jeans Run

Lisa and I started a Jeans run, where instead of paying the entry fee, we train and run for a pair of jeans. This year we got Sharon to do it with us. We trained for a half Marathon. We started Just before Bridal Veil Falls up Provo Canyon and ended at Utah Lake. It was a lot of fun, and even more fun is shopping for that new pair of jeans.

One Little Indian

I sent Gracie to preschool and she came home as a little Indian. She was so proud of the new costume and she even let her teacher paint her face (We all know Gracie hates her face touched)

The Bike Ride

I am sure the nice weather will be coming to end soon, but we have sure been enjoying it. We found Deven's old bikes and our neighbors gave us their old bike trailor. We have had so much fun going on bike rides. Gracie loves it (and for anyone who know Gracie she is always one for a ride) She asks us everyday if we can keep the trailor and go for more bike rides.

Fall

This is the first year Gracie has got to see the leafs change and we decided to take a day and let the kids play in the leafs. Gracie and her cousins.

Gracie was so excited about Halloween this year. We took advantage of the good weather and carved pumpkins outside. She had more fun coloring them and lighting them up at night. And of course Halloween brought for us a little fairy.
