Saying Goodbye to 2019....

Celebrating Christmas 2019 in Arizona!

Deerfield Christmas Concert

Twas the day before Christmas break and where would we go?
But to Deerfield, of course, to hear carols both fast and slow!
Alyssa was embarrassed yet happy we were there,
Just eye rolls and stares made the hour easy to bare!
Our last and only child to scream (sing) the Deerfield carol,
One more year of elementary programs with Christmas apparel! 

MRJH's Christmas Concert starring Austin!

I LOVE going to Christmas concerts at the kids' schools.  This year, I only had one child in choir (sniff, sniff). Austin's choir teacher, Mr. Powell, is incredible.  My favorite number was "Silent Night" where the boys sang in German, Afrikaans, and ASL. Beautiful!

Oaklee's Baptism/Hatch Family Christmas Party

 We drove up to Logan and spent the night swimming, hot tubbing, and sleeping so we could get up early and arrive on time to Oaklee's baptism.  It was just beautiful.  When Paizlee and Oaklee were singing a song about 'show me the temple', I sat there thinking how blessed Brantly's life is with this little family he has created.  It brought tears to my eyes!

After a brunch with the Kimballs, we had the annual Hatch Family party at the church.  It was hilarious!  We played new games that can only be played in the gym, had a white elephant gift exchange, and just had fun visiting with each other.  Love my family so much!
