The Lindon LDS Temple is such a beautiful place.
This is one of my sweet daughters.
She and her sister volunteered to help at the Lindon Temple Open House last month.
One had a shift n the parking lot and the other was inside guiding tours.
But honestly, I don’t think it wouldn’t matter where they put these cute kids in this lovely place.
They’re just happy to help.
A cute boy with a new shirt. Silly guy.
Finally finishing a sweet spring puzzle with a couple of cute kitties.
Hanging out with some folks that we love.
Watching our sweet girly in her orchestra concert.
Seeing pictures of the creepy moon that we missed because it was cloudy and raining…
and happening at 4:30 in the morning.
Trying my hand at making funny cheesy crackers.
Finding an old picture that made me laugh.
Clapping for these sweethearts while they take a well-deserved vacation.
A darling boy that needs to quit all that crazy growing stuff. Sheesh.
And finally having kitty peace…
throughout the kingdom.
Go to sleep Lyla.
It’s become an incredible tradition to have Fondue on New Year’s Eve. Cheese and Chocolate to satisfy all the sweet and savory cravings of every single soul on this night–the last night of 2025.
We are each tasked with bringing at least one sweet and one savory dipper. My job is to show up with a boatload of pretzel bites…which I did. Thanks for the help Jessica & Rhen. With our family ever expanding, the dippers are becoming more and more amazing. Strawberries, cheesecake bites, Little Smokies, pretzels, potatoes, apples, pumkin bread…and it goes on and onnnn!!
One of the best nights of the year!!
Happy New Year everyone!!
Starting at Lyndi’s and ending over at my place for ham and turkey sandwiches (–thank you everyone!!) and general delightful Christmas Magic!!
It was beautiful, and lovely and some parts even made me speechless! That’s a first–haha. But more about that later.
Merry, merry Christmas Everyone!!
On the last day of November–alllll those weeks ago- haha– April and Lily came over and gave me an amazing surprise.
Ok, yes, they brought me a yummy cinnamon roll that Lily made and some hot chocolate, but the REAL surprise was…..
this beautiful box…
with all it’s mysterious littler boxes….
that April’s family filled up with…
all kinds of magical Christmasy things!
There were candy canes and water bottle stickers and brown sugar fudge…
yummy lip gloss…
a soft, fluffy wash cloth…
and even a ridiculous Perfect Man made of chocolate.
Ohhhhh Aprilllll. Hahaha.
One box held heavenly soft plaid socks…
another had a chocolate marshmallow Santa–that only April and I truly appreciate. Heh.
There were lovely ornaments…
chocolates and more ornaments…
and MORE chocolate!!!
I especially loved the teeny, tiny Mrs. Claus cup ornament.
You know, I always wanted to be Mrs Claus when I grew up.
I’m not even kidding.
Best of all–each of those different boxes came with a sweet little note from Hazel, Lily, Beckham, Jacob or April that I will love and cherish forever.
Thank you so much my sweethearts.
You made it like Christmas every single day.
