Our Saturday...

Our Saturday began with two basketball games at 11:00, at different schools of course. It was the first games of the season and Taylor and Jake's teams both lost. Sad. There was not a lot of time to replay them, however, as we were due for the cultural event of the holiday season. Torey danced at her first ballet recital since she was a little girl. The dance was to "the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy's" from the Nutcracker. She danced beautifully and was really good at extending her arms through the full movement. She is a very graceful dancer.

Here we are after the recital. Grandma and Grandpa Thompson came to watch and brought her the beautiful flower bouquet. She was more than thrilled. Jake also learned the value of honesty as he lost his wallet, which was later turned in at the snack stand. We were so grateful as it contained his rec center pass, his gift card, and his favorite picture of the Savior. Thank you to whomever it was!
Later that evening we enjoyed Grandma Glenda's famous Christmas party where Taylor won the coloring contest for her age group (I won't tell you how many kids are in that age group), and we made merry throughout the evening. The night would not be complete without the obligatory family picture, so here it is.

We love Grandma Glenda so much and are so grateful for the time we get to spend with her. Thank you for a wonderful evening!
