Blog Update

I've got a lot of pictures to post to update this blog.  Now that I'm primary president I've been using a lot of my free time figuring out my new calling.  But here's an update with photos of what we've been up to lately.

Ava won the photography award in her division in the Reflections contest at school.  She got that trophy, certificate and a necklace.  She was super happy!

 Now that it's December, Blinky our Elf is out and about, getting into mischief while we sleep.  He took a barbie out on a date the other night.

These pictures below are from Cornbelly's.  That was way back in October but I forgot to post them.  We always have fun going every year.

Luke took the girls shopping around Halloween time at Costco.  They both wanted to wear their witch hats and they were mesmorized by watching The Avengers on the super nice TV's there.

Luke and I dressed up for Halloween in inflatable clown and baby costumes.  We only wore them for about 20 minutes but they were a big hit at the Ferrin's Halloween party.

From Halloween straight to Christmas.  We walked through the Lights at Temple square the day after Thanksgiving.  It's a nice way to kick off the holiday season.

 Walking through City Creek was one of my favorite things.  It's gorgeous!  I love how they've decorated and lit the whole area.  It's an experience just walking through.

Back to Halloween.  We carved our pumpkins together for family night.  The pumpkins are in order.  Luke's is the scary one below.  Then Ava's pumpkin (she chose the design) and Tess's pumpkin (she wanted hers to be smiling and happy.)

On Thanksgiving Day Luke and I went and saw the new Bond movie Skyfall.  It was awesome to go out to a movie date!

This is the first time I voted and here's what the line looked like.  Luckily it was a beautiful day outside.

We've had a really warm and beautiful Fall this year.  Really only one snowstorm and Luke took this picture of it in the parking lot at work one night.
