Priesthood Ordination

Trenton received the Aaronic Priesthood at church after turning 12 last month.  He is such an impressive young man.  He is very kind-hearted and obedient.  He doesn't let things bother him and doesn't worry about the details of life.  He knows what he wants and goes after it.  We were so proud to see him passing the sacrament the following Sunday.  It is hard to believe he is so grown up!

Poor Nathan wasn't feeling too well this day, but he would never let you know!  These are three of the most handsome boys I know!  Owen LOVES wearing a tie to church so this new suit jacket made his day.  He is just like his big brother and Dad!

Louisville Visit

Thanks to Groupon, we got a great deal on a hotel package in Louisville, so we headed down over Thanksgiving break since we didn't travel home this year.  We stayed at the Galt House in downtown Louisville and they do an amazing Christmas light display every year.

 Dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory.  (Sorry for Owen's spooky eyes.)

 Jumping and sliding fun at Incredible Dave's, an indoor kid playground and arcade.  The kids love it there!

Santa came for a visit while we were busy playing.  He didn't mind their sweaty hair though.  Owen asked for Beyblades and Ashleigh asked for a Nintendo DS.

Trenton's Birthday Party

We celebrated Trenton's 12th birthday at CoCo Key Water Resort.  He invited 8 friends to join him from school, church, and the neighborhood.  They had a great time hitting the water slides, sneaking into the adult only hot tub, and floating on the lazy river.

 Trenton was the fastest one of his friends across this rope ladder.
