Jon Schmidt Concert

Mike and I went to St. George to attend the Jon Schmidt Concert.
The grounds were beautifully decorated.
Thanks Mike for an early Christmas Present!
This is the stage where he performed! I love, love, loved it! Jon Schmidt played all my
favorite songs! "Waterfall" & "Bring Him Home" are at the top of my list!
He ended with "Silent Night" I want to make it a tradition and go every year!

Dad's Big Catch

Dad said the year would not be complete without showing off his mighty catch
from Canada!

Magical Forest

We went to the Magical Forest...
This is the Ginger Bread Village and the Eiffel Tower
It was a warm night.
Perfect to be outdoors and walk through the Magical Forest
We use to take the kids here when they were little.

Mike was just a baby the last time we came here!
Now he is preparing to serve a mission in Brazil!
Matt has been teaching Mike a few words in Portugese.
Maybe Dad & I will learn a few words too!
