November

Rexburg

We had an elder's quorum activity with our married student ward. 

We just found this nice spot in the middle of nowhere and shot skit unto we ran out of amno. 

Colton likes to dip anything he can find in chocolate.  

In Layton, UT

Malea playing in Sam's Club. 

Family gathered to play Werewolf; we all really got into it. 

Conversing with one another.

Preparing for Thanksgiving dinner. Malea and Aubree are folding napkins. 

The places are set and completed with assigned seating. 

Preparing the food. Almost done. 

Everyone look left. Don't know why

Thanksgiving dinner

Heating up leftover food on the flame of the stove. 

Our Ginger bread house making started with a broken foundation. 

Frosting the top to make it look like snow on the roof. 

Little Button kids building their houses. 

Moma Potter baking ginger bread trains to go with the houses. They looked really cool.

Colton was just eating all the candy. 

We went to the Celebration of Christ concert on Temple Square with Andrea and Ma n' Pa Kenison.

There were several choirs of varying ages and denominations. Also, Jenny Oaks Baker and Vocal Point came.

Looking at the lights.

We got a present in advanced from the Kenisons. 

Lots of wrapping paper

It was a nativity.

It took Colton so long to unwrap it, Malea had time to take a photo of her toes. 

Putting little baby Jesus in.

The final product.

The power went out for most of Eastern Idaho and school was canceled until it came back on. We had the time to cook breakfast, but no power so we got creative. What you see here is a homemade stove featuring a Sterno flame. 

  

The eggs where taking to long because the pot was not close enough to the fire. So Colton held it over the fire to cook faster. 

He couldn't hold it for very, long so we got mugs to the hold the pot. 

Then to stabilize it we put the metal grate from our toaster oven over the mugs. Then our eggs where done and we had a hot breakfast. 

Little T entered the MTC on Dec 4. 

This is our little Christmas tree. We had to get something, but we didn't want to get anything big because we will be going down to Utah for Christmas.

Finals are upon us. Here is a part of my Data Warehousing final using MarkLogic. 

We are trying to get done so we can go down to Utah as soon as possible.
