Surfin' USA - Go Mckenna!

We spent the Saturday after Thanksgiving at Malibu with our great friends the Anderson's. Craig took Mckenna out on a longboard and here you can see her surf for the first time. She loved it so much she never wanted to stop!

Disneyland for the Holiday

What a beautiful sight seeing Sleeping Beauty's castle all lit up for the holiday season.

Happiest Place on Earth

Disneyland is definetly the happiest place on earth when you are there with your entire family! We spent a wonderful Thanksgiving week down in So. California at Disneyland with the Jeppesen Clan. We had so much fun spending time together. It is always a great time with family. We are all kids at heart because we love Disneyland! We got soaked on Splash Mountain (especially Garen), Mckenna braved it all and rode "California Screamin" and Libbi rode her favorite ride about 6 times -"Tower of Terror" We all loved seeing it snow after the fireworks on Mainstreet. What a way to celebrate with brothers,sisters, and cousins!

Palmayra

Sacred Grove

This summer we had an amazing experience as a family. In July we spent a week in New York. It was our last hurrah as a family. Since our children are growing up we did not know if we would ever be able to go on a trip altogether again. We spent 4 days in NYC laughing, shopping, shows, and touring. We then rented a car and drove north to Palmayra. It was a six hour drive but it was worth it. I myself have been there several times but not for 20 years. Being there in the Sacred grove altogether as a family, where the church was restored, gave us such a feeling of gratitude for Joseph Smith and because of him we can be an eternal family. It was a once in a lifetime experience for us all and we will take it with us forever.
