A Wonderful Holiday

Every year I try to get a family picture by our Christmas tree. This year proved to be a little difficult so I'll take what I can get. We had a great holiday this year, staying home, playing games, and having a fun, relaxing time. It just goes by too quickly.

Having some fun. . .

My parents came down in December to deliver Christmas gifts. My kids love it when they come. This time we went to the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage. It was pretty cool and the kids had a great time.





What better way to spend the holidays than to have some fun with family!

Piano Recital

Kierstyn started taking piano this year. In December, she had a piano recital. She played a duet with her dad and both did a great job. She has another one coming up in May.

End of Soccer Season

Ben finished up his soccer season. He is becoming quite the little athlete. In fact his coach called him the motor of the team! Looking forward to many great games ahead.

Gardner Reunion

Okay, I know its been quite a while and honestly its just hard keeping up. So I'll try to catch up.

Back in November my family had a very memorable reunion. I have to say my family is really unique in that they love getting together and doing some crazy things together. And its nice that we have 2 wonderful party planners (my sisters)that set it all up. This year we did an Academy Award Night including our own improv versions of movie scenes. Come on how many families are willing to do that.



We also went roller skating, which was a blast except for one broken bone.


Other things we did that I don't have pictured was a race night with pine wood derby cars. Kierstyn and I were on the winning team thanks to Andy! We also had a temple day and the big finale a Christmas party just like we use to. Lots of fun!!!
