November and December 2013 & January and February 2014

On Thanksgiving we made our traditional fruit pies. 
Daycee, MacKenzie and Aarron each made their own pie.









We spent Thanksgiving in the valley this year with the Merrill's. We had an extra day to play so we went to the Mesa Temple Christmas lights.





Clayton was with his football team. They played in the state champion play off game and took 2nd place! Go Elks!


Aarron turned 8 on December 3rd. This was a big birthday for him. He chose to get baptized and joined cub scouts!!



Aarron got to celebrate in his class at school. I took cookies for him to share with everyone.


He also had his interview with the Bishop. Afterwards we took him to McDonald's for an ice cream sundae!






We sang Happy Birthday to him later that night!




Our traditional stocking hanging was done at the first of December

So proud of my boys


Dayson and I gave the boys swords for earning their awards. And also to remind them of their responsibilities as priesthood holders, future missionaries, husbands and fathers!

So cute!!

They were so cute together!

We made our way to the Gilbert Temple open house before it was dedicated. Grandma and Grandpa Merrill also were there that day.

After we got out of the Temple, Uncle Amaron was there doing maintenance work and he took this picture of us.

Such a beautiful Temple. We also attended the dedication at our stake center on March 2nd and watched the cultural celebration online the night before.
