2022 was a wonderful year for our family. So many memories and so much fun made this year truly perfect in so many ways. Hard things happened and not everything was easy, but it was perfect for our family.

Christmas was pure magic at our house this year. Christmas morning was so fun, Graham loved his Magic Mixie and the nugget, Wells loves his broom and dollhouse, Randy loves his Paramore tickets, and Maddy loves her running shoes.

We spent a ton of time with cousins and family eating yummy foods, playing lots of games, and chatting about everything. Grandpa Dave and Uncle Jon (Or Chonch as Wells calls him) both came into town and it was so fun to be together.

We enjoyed work parties, Candlelight Christmas, gingerbread houses, and snow this Christmas season.

Our Christmas staycation at the Grand America was magical. Shopping, pizza, swimming, movies, games, the display window, a giant gingerbread house, a delicious breakfast. It was so fun and we can’t wait to go again!

Festival of Trees. Snow days. Christmas movie nights. Books. Decorating. Sledding. Hot cocoa. Grinch day at school called for green hair. Layton lights. A ward Christmas party to see Santa. It’s been a December we will never forget. I will remember forever Graham being so excited about all the Nightmare Before Christmas trees. His elf wand and dancing to the music. Wells scarfing down his scone so fast.

The kids so excited to run up the paths at the Layton Lights and press the sound buttons.

Graham insisting he do a Grinch face to match his hair.

Graham being so excited to make snow angels and throw snow balls and shovel the walks. The way Wells starts laying down on the floor to read all the time now and repeats every word he hears. How he marched right up to Santa to get his candy cane.

We’re so excited for Christmas and have been enjoying every day in December.
