Jr Jazz

Braden started practicing with his Jr Jazz team 2 weeks ago. I was able to go this last thursday and see him practice. He did a great job. He loves to play basketball and says that his cousing Carlos and Daniela have taught him alot about how to play. He gets excited each week to go practice. In January the games will start.

Getaway!!

This weekend we had a mini getaway to "The Little America Hotel" in Downtown Salt Lake city. We arrived at the hotel and went swimming with the kids. Then we showered and got ready to eat dinner at Z Tejas in the Gateway. After we ate dinner we went to see the lights at Temple Square. This has been a tradition of ours every year. It was packed, I can't believe how many people where there last night. It was freezing cold but well worth it. We went to the new Deseret Book across from Temple Square and saw their new display window with a Gingerbread cookie factory. They were giving out gingerbread men cookies and selling hot chocolate from the lion house. It was great tasting hot chocolate. We had a great weekend with the kids.

THE Basement !!!

Yes we are finally DONE!! Well at least it is livable and we still have a few details to finish plus the bathroom. But it is done. I am so happy we have finished this project!!! We are very happy with the final results like I said we still have to get two more doors and finish some molding and get closet doors and finish the bathroom. Those things can wait alittle bit. We are excited to get this extra space now.

Christmas Is Here!!!

Finally today I was able to start decorating the house. The last couple of days have been busy with the preparations for the Relief Society Christmas Dinner. I can say that it all turned out great. The food was yummy, decorations where beautiful and the entertainment was fabulous. I think my board and I did an excellent job.

Now I can breathe, start christmas shopping and get into the spirit of christmas. This year christmas came to quick. Hopefully we can slow down alittle now that our basement will be completed tomorrow with the installation of the carpet. Jorge will finish this semester of school and we can all be together and relax for this month.

Like I said we decorated our tree today, I think it turned out beautiful. I also decorated with garland and I put them on my window valances.
