Reed and me at the Oakland temple December 16th. We had a nice evening there with Jess and Cat and the boys.

The Harris kids: Ariel 16, licensed driver and social butterfly; Clint 7, ping pong champ----well he can beat grandma and those kids at USU, and budding guitarist; Justin 15, soon to be licensed driver and lover of Lord of the Rings. Ariel and Justin both got their braces off in October, grandma wants to know when she gets hers off!!!!

Jess and Cat the proud parents of Nathan, Logan, Jake and ????????. This was taken the evening of our trip to the Oakland temple. It was COLD.

Here are some of the photos of the family-------great looking bunch aren't they!!!!!

These are Jess and Cat's kids.

Nathan was 7 in October, Logan was 5 in June and Jake was 2 in October.

6a.m. yesterday, December 18th----there is no place to go but up!!!!

Well this is how things looked yesterday, December 18th! With Christmas a week away I was feeling a little frazzeled. I had managed to get 20 goody gifts out, and all of the Christmas cards (with a blog address to a blogg with nothing on it) so it is now time to decorate the tree and house. I wondered if it was worth it for just 2 weeks but the Christmas spirit prevailed.

This is how the tree looks today, December 19th----a little better than yesterday. Good thing, Christmas is less than a week away. Not too many presents, that's because most of them went to Utah and Idaho and checks don't take much space.

Who knows when I will get the family photos on here, but keep checking I am getting the hang of it. The Christmas letter info will be here soon also.
