We managed to make it through Sarah's and my birthdays and celebrated with dinner at a Japanese steakhouse.

Steven is really into basketball lately and practices morning and night.

We got our Christmas decorations up, but we can't decide if the bear is trying to eat Rachel or give her a hug.

Birthday Season

We just finished celebrating our "eat cake" week, although we really had chocolate cream pie, chocolate cake, and rocky road brownies (too many cakes in one week just gets old!)  Definitely a chocolate theme, though!

 Not sure how the candles made 45, but the kids seemed to think they did!

I tied the fleece blanket for Rachel and she decorated the cake for herself!  I can't believe my baby is 10!

She had a birthday party.  They decorated their aprons, then decorated cupcakes.  I'm not sure which they enjoyed more!

And Christopher is now 15.  Where does the time go?

Columbia Temple with Aunt Karen

I was able to meet up with my Aunt Karen from Salt Lake at the Columbia Temple.
