Random December Pictures

The month of December is always packed with all the fun things, and I want to remember them!  So here is another random picture post of a few of those happenings.

Girls afternoon...pedicures!

Love seeing Grandpa and Brinley together.

We are all taking turns helping take care of Gram this month.  Brit, Ang and I go over for two hours every morning and afternoon.  Chris often takes in lunch.  Kerry has helped my dad with extra locks and with taking care of Gram as well.  We are looking for some in home care to help.  Her health since November has greatly declined.  Above is a cute picture of her and Chris.  Below is Nate and Kerry helping Gram with her meds one day.

A windy picture after Brinley's beautiful homecoming talk.  I loved hearing a few of her experiences again.  She is a great speaker and writer and is able to convey her thoughts well.

We are all trying to get to know Erin more.  I especially want Brinley to have the opportunity in the short two weeks home.  Late one night we decorated ginerbread houses. 

Have I mentioned we LOVE having this girl home?!!!!!

Aub had some basketball games that we were able to enjoy.  So sweet that La and Ang took time to come as well.

This puzzle took forever.  Brinley was very diligent.

After Christmas we had a fun cousin day at a friends gym!  We got to meet Benjamin's girlfriend Maddie too.  She was really sweet.

Kate and Brinley had a great time catching up.  They are both in the same major at BYU which is also fun and helpful.  

Tanner's girlfriend Erin came.  She's so beautiful.

Breena joined in the fun as well.  I love it when it works out for one of Aubrey's friends to come over.  It makes her so happy.

We had carolers and it made my night!  I felt so loved by their kind act of service.  (Kristi Phillips, Cathy Bonifay, Marie, Annalise and Patrick Howell, a missionary, Jeff Howell (hat), Jared and Vera Howell)

Brian's probably going to kill me for posting this but I love it!  Parker called and wasn't wearing a shirt.  He had showered and it is so humid there.  He was trying to dry off a little bit.  So Brian, who was at a location in his work truck, took off his shirt and joined the call.  He keeps us laughing for sure. 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Brinley reported to the high council the Sunday after she got home.  I saw this in the stake office and thought it was so fun.  Love seeing both Bryn and Park on there.  We have had many blessings as a family from their willingness to serve missions.
