Year End Wind Up

Well we are finishing up 2019 and I have some catching up to do.
We have enjoyed having a grand daughter in  her school choir.  We got to hear her  Fall and Christmas concerts.

 They sound very good.

Youngest daughter's husband had a 2 week work trip so I spent a week in Seattle.  We sure have cute grandkids.

He likes to help cook.

We went on a walk and picked up beautiful leaves!

 Our youngest grandchild, cute little Juni, is growing up, and she's a smart cookie too!

Hard to sit still in church.

Special makeup to turn her pink for her Halloween costume...She was a cute little troll doll, Grammie made the costume.

Her Mom brought these home for her from Korea

We visited a Korean market looking for crackers they liked.  We didn't find the crackers but look at the eels and anemones.

Stair climbing!

I am astonished at how well little kids manage this swing.  The Perfect play room!

 Ceramics is still a joy to me.  these nesting bowls were birthday presents for Alicia.

Also these planters

Unnested.



Little Sister and I took a quick trip to Utah for this cute nephew's wedding.

 

 

Congratulations Jesse and Deni

The Quillens

The mischievousness is present in the next generation! 

Proud Mom!

He was hiding in plain sight (he's disguised as an apple tree)  and the cousin playing hide and seek didn't notice him.

 A Quillen Uncle puts up an amazing Christmas village....With temple square.

It was amazing!

We got to spend Thanksgiving with the Seattle kids again!  It's such fun!
The photo worthy dish, a cheese and sausage board....It was very impressive and delicious!

She Couldn't resist

We made a pretty big dent!

 There was a wonderful spread, and we devoured it,  but I only got a photo of the important part!

 

Serious work there!

 I have to say it's fun to sit in a hot tub when it's cold outside.  The kids love it too!

cupboard sitting...a time honored activity

The gingerbread house tradition continues.  Those kids are getting quite artistic.

So is this cutie!

Happy Birthday to my youngest!

The best toys?

 My Sister came to visit and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time together.  We especially enjoyed visiting the MIM!  It's amazing.  This is essentially a huge music box....almost 100 years old and it still works though it's been computerized.

 

 My cute husband and second daughter and I went black Friday shopping at Daniel Smith  arts supply store.  I got some new clay tools for my birthday.

This year's nativity plaques.

That is hail on our new mustang....The old one was totaled after our car accident.  We are now extra careful driving!

 Ben's birthday.  He was very gracious that I got mixed up and put Jase's name on the cake.  Luckily there was white icing to fix it.

 What a blessed and wonderful life we live.  We are so thankful!
