New Years Eve!

We had a quiet New Years Eve at home.  Ethan came home from work and joined us in cheese fondue and then played nertz with us for awhile and then headed out to spend New Years eve with Brisa and her family.  We played more games, had chocolate fondue, watched Cameron and Ashton play soccer on xbox and then tuned into live coverage on tv.   Happy New Year, everyone!

Anniversary #22

It's crazy to think we've been married for half of our lives (getting married at age 22 + 22 year anniversary = 44 years old in age)!  We celebrated by going out to Cheesecake Factory and then to see Wicked at the Pantages theater in Hollywood.  We sat just up from the orchestra and enjoyed amazing seats.

Christmas Day 2018


Christmas started around 6:30 am!  The boys opened everything in record time and Derrik and I sat on the couch taking it all in.  We enjoyed monkey bread, a turkey-ham dinner and then took a drive to see Christmas lights.  We had a great Christmas!
For Mom!

Christmas Eve 2018

We attended our church's candlelight Christmas Eve service and then headed home for leftover fondue and presents. The boys opened their yearly pajamas and games.

SCE Holiday Show

Yesterday, I finished my last holiday show!  Everything went really well and I was thankful to have both Cameron and Ethan there to help with the sound.  We have a new outdoor sound system and it has been a challenge to manage that with everything else.  They both came several days and took care of it for me!  The leadership team gave me a lovely flowered plant that I wasn't expecting.
