Put our tree up (yep, it went up before Thanksgiving - just couldn't resist!)
Thanksgiving dinner feast - spent it with a couple of friends :)
December:
Festival of Trees - people donate these beautifully decorated themed trees (there was over 800 of them!) and they are for sale to the public. All the money goes to the children's hospital. It's really cool!! .
Penguin themed!

Temple Square is quite a site to behold all lit up
Our 2013 Christmas card that Thomas made (now a little tradition of ours). Can you find Quilly?

Our means of transportation between families
"Mary & Joseph" dinner - salmon, figs, dates, goat cheese, olives, cucumbers, grapes, stuffed grape leaves, pita and hummus.
Another dinner at Mom's - nothin' like pizza with weinhards and a roaring fire!
Add in "It's A Wonderful Life" and you've got the perfect cozy evening!
At the park with the dogs
Spending time with my niece - she loves stories!
Thomas is such a great uncle, having fun dancing
