Photo Shoot

Last weekend I took the kids for a drive to find somewhere to take some photos. We ended up at La Caille because they have pretty scenery and some cool old buildings. We wanted to surprise Andy with some new photos for his birthday. It was so freezing, our noses were red in most of the pictures. I am definitely not a professional

(I should have called Karleigh!) but we got a few good ones.

Christmas parties

Every year our neighborhood has an outdoor Christmas party. We donate items or money to the food bank in lieu of neighbor gifts. They always have a bunch of fire pits and we have hot chocolate and roast marshmallows for s'mores. Each year Santa arrives in a new way. He has been on a tractor, horse and fire engine. This year he marched in with the Alta High School Drum line. It was awesome!

This year, Andy's work party was at a restaurant called La Caille. It is always fun to get dressed up, have a nice dinner, and see our friends who come in from California.

Drew's Surgery

Drew had to have his tonsils and adenoids removed yesterday .

As you can see he was a pretty good sport about it.

He liked riding in the wagon to surgery.

After, he wasn't quite so smiley. But he was so brave and did great. The doctor said everything went well and that his adenoids were "huge". We had them removed because he has trouble breathing and seems to have a little sleep apnea at night. Hopefully this will help.

In the recovery room.

It took him forever to wake up. Then we took him home and he was pretty much unconscious the whole day. Poor little guy.

He is pretty sore today but has been getting fluids down and is being such a sweetheart. It is so strange to not have him running around the house and talking up a storm. He actually wants to sit still and lets me cuddle him. If he wasn't in pain, I would really be enjoying this!
