Utah Highlights #2

Visiting Grammy Romney
She is 95 and still such a pleasure to be with. The boys were so cute with her, and James slept the whole time. Perfect, since she lives in an apartment full of breakable items. Flying on an airplane
They were so good for me since we flew with just the 4 of us, and they were so cute!

Temple Square Lights
This used to be one of my very favorite traditons, and it's been forever since I've been able to do it. It was so fun to take my kids, even if Jace did comment with a cute smile on his face, "You know, Mom, this isn't really that fun."

My boys LOVE the Book of Mormon stories. There were totally enthralled at the visitor center watching a video on the Stripling Warriors.

Bowling

People should really bowl more often. It's such a fun activity for everyone. Parker was on fire and kept getting strikes (with bumpers) and I even broke 100! Fat Cats is the best place around with great pizza, cheap bowling, video games and a little gym to climb on . We could have stayed for hours.

He slept through most of the bowling.

Thanksgiving

It's also been years since I celebrated Thanksgiving at home, and it was so fun to be with my extended Cullimore family. There was SO much great food and it was such a pleasure to catch up with grandparents, cousins and aunts and uncles. I feel so grateful to be part of a family that stays close and loves each other. This year there is a lot to be thankful for. At the top of my list: a husband who constantly amazes me with his unconditional love, 3 boys who love each other and are good to the core, an extended family who loves us fiercely, our health which has been remarkably good this year, perspective, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ which gives us infinite hope even in our darkest hours.
