Daxon #8 Birthday - Baptism - Live Nativity in Alpine 2016

This sweet boy is turning #8
He gets his first Cub scout book
Oh, someone is excited
The uniform might stay on for the next 4 years
He is loving the birthday at Chuck - o - Rama
His choice, of course
Looking good in his birthday attire. Notice the snow is coming!
A little fun at Classic Skating

Look who we bumped into. Jamal Williams is looking a lot like Where's Waldo!
Stef and Van checked out Jamal too
Daxon gets baptized 

Daxon and Kale are getting ready for the big event!
Kai gets the opportunity to baptize Dax
Great memories for both of them
We are so proud of this little guy. We can't believe that he is 8 already.
Way to go Daxon! It was such a nice day and a lot of our kids got to come and be a part of the special event!
Daxon and his friend Jake got Baptized today
Big day. I got to speak about the Holy Ghost to the boys
Keri, Kai, and Kale with Dax.This was so special for Kai to be able to Baptize his little brother.
What a great experience for both of them
Alpine Living Nativity........ an amazing thing to go see
It was so cold, but just a spectacular night
Roman soldiers are awesome
I am glad we wore our big coats. Definitely the Big Chill
They had so many great animals. The camels were so fun. The kids all thought these were terrific
Van just couldn't believe this big hairy thing was alive
Cayden and Addi
Riglee and the Donkeys
Paislee was just loving this whole thing
We went into a barn with the Roman Soldiers and the whole barn was decorated like we were in Jerusalem. We went around the market and saw all the vendors and what they were making
Fun, fun, fun
Taeber takes Riglee around
Riglee loved it, she loves her Taeber
Keri and I join the party
Keri, Kale and Riggs
Welcomt to Utah Glaziers. Get ready for winter!
This is truly an experience
At the end of the tour we came across a breathtaking sight. A live baby with Mary and Joseph!!!!
I am pretty sure they had some heating pads under the baby to keep him warm. When he started moving around, Pais was so amazed it was a live baby
Wow!
We so enjoyed this experience with the Bell's, Tingey's and Glazier's. I think we have to make this an annual event for us to go to. They only do it a few nights the first of December and it was spectacular!!!

Sweet - Sweet - Sweet!
Well, it is that time of year again. We had a ginger bread building family home evening and had so fun together
I think these kids did an amazing job with their houses! (They ate a lot of candy too)
Van, Kai, Taeber, Daxon, Shae, Paislee, Aspen, Riglee, and Addi
My great, wonderful Amies Toujour friends. We had our party this year at Pam Tanner's house in Bountiful and it snowed on us as we were getting to her house. Getting down the hill at the end was a little tricky, but we did just fine. I really think Christmas is here!

Thanksgiving in Vernal 2016

The cooks have been hard at work getting a little breakfast ready for the crew
Glazier's came the day before to play with the Hardy's
I see you miss Halle Ann with the big eyes
Yum...... turkey cinnamon rolls for breakfast
We are starving..... when do we eat again??????
Let's go see Kenny's gym while the turkey is cooking and run off breakfast before we eat again
It was actually a very scary ride to Vernal this time. There was so much snow coming down that we could not see where we were going. We were so glad to get to Hardy's ok
Doing a few stretches to make room for more food
 Playing some basketball to run some energy off
