Last Game of the Year

James' competitive hockey team played the Davis County Select Pee Wee team on Wednesday. This was the first time these two groups had met on a competitive (non-recreational) level and the competition was EXCELLENT!

Despite the strange ice situation (the rink had some problems with a compressor so the ice was not as frozen as would be ideal...), the kids on both teams all played well. The pucks didn't always glide where they wanted them to, and neither did their feet, and they got more wet than usual, but they worked it all out just the same.

Final score: Wildcats 3, Wind 2.

Favorite Photos of the Year

I love my digital camera because I can take lots and lots of photos and it doesn't cost a thing.

I spent some time today and went through all the photos James and I took during the past year. Included below are my favorites. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to our family and friends. We hope you had as wonderful a day as we did. It was a nice change of pace to have a break from all the craziness of H1N1 mass vaccination clinics!

I have to share with you my favorite Christmas photo. My father is almost impossible to shop for, and he would actually be happy with no presents at all. BUT! I found a gem this year and from his reaction in the photo you can see he couldn't have agreed more. What would we all do if Max Hall didn't hate us anyway?
