Pumpkin Carving

Ethan and Kate were the only two that wanted to carve pumpkins this year.  Made for an easy night and they had a great time!  This was the first year we didn't go to Lindsay's Pumpkins patch.  It was raining and cold so we made a quick stop into Maceys grocery store to pick out a couple pumpkins.

Pinewood Derby

Ethans first Pine Wood Derby!  His car did great ( Uncle Blake gives some awesome help ). This time around they didn't have a winner so no one felt left out.  We are pretty sure Ethan's would have been first!  Either way Ethan loved it!

Lagoon

We had such a fun day at Lagoon!  The new ride Canabal had opened up - Justin had a seasons pass this summer so he had already tried the new ride but was excited to go with Dad and Mom on it.  We loved it!  Emily and Savanah drove up with friends this year, Jake, Estelle and Bailey.  We love going during the Halloween season because Lagoon has haunted houses that are included in your pass.  Jeff and the order kids enjoy going through them.

Taylors mission

We are so excited Taylor chose to serve a mission!  He was called to the Salem, Oregon Mission.  The night before he went into the MTC he few into Salt Lake with his Dad and the stopped by our house with Grandpa and Grandma Bills to say our goodbyes.  We will sure miss him!

Porter Oyler Christmas Dinner

We had our annual Porter, Oyler Christmas dinner at the Olive Garden in Salt Lake City.  This year we sat across from each other so we could visit better (instead of families sitting together).  It was by far our best dinner ever!  We had so much fun and stayed for hours visiting and laughing.  We even had a funny experience with the elevators, showing the Oyler's the 5th floor and about killing Grandmummy - she was claustrophobic in the elevator with all 15 of us!  Too bad Kelcee wasn't able to make it this year. 

Christmas Day

We had such a great Christmas.  The morning and afternoon we spent at home opening and playing with new gifts.  That evening we had dinner at Grandpa and Grandma Bills' house and Santa came for a visit.  Uncle Eric, Aunt Marisa and their family was here for Christmas so it was extra special!

Emily's Medallion

Emily earned her Young Woman Recognition, or Medallion.  The last thing she had to do was read the Book of Mormon and she was so diligent read every night.  We are so proud of all she accomplished to get her Medallion!

Living Nativity

This was our second year going to the Living Nativity in Alpine and we loved it!  This year we were going with Grandpa and Grandma Bills and the Alomia Family.  For some reason we got off times with the Alomia's so we were just with Grandpa and Grandma.   The weather was perfect - warm and no snow!

Thankgiving

Thanksgiving we spent at Grandpa and Grandma Bills' house.  We love going and being together with our family.  I think I enjoy it so much I completely forget to take pictures :)
