We celebrated two birthdays on 

Sunday, December 23rd!

My amazing Dad turned 80

and sweet little Owen

celebrated birthday number one!

We had a bit of a surprise party for my dad.  

We displayed pictures and memorabilia from 

his life and then showed a 50 minute DVD of his family 

through the years - we had a great time.

Everyone in the family was present except for 

two grandsons - Taylor in Alaska

and Daniel in Ohio with his family.

Although we miss our only brother Mike,

Liz has found a wonderful new husband, Chad,

to bring a smile to her face and 

help her with her children.

Chad and Liz; Mom and Dad, Shelly and Bruce

Bryan and Manja

Our family - a wonderful legacy

born of wonderful parents.

Owen celebrated birthday number 1 - well on his way to 80!

Let the celebrating begin:

Both Bryan and Manja participated in the

Wasatch Master Chorale this year.

Here we are walking through City Creek Center

after our performance at Temple Square. 

It was fun to see the Candy Windows at Macy's downtown.

Hip, Hip Hooray - It's Graduation Day!

Congratulations Anne!

You are awesome!

Look who's proud of Anne

The cute hubbie!

The proud parents and grandparents!

It's Birthday Time for Emma and Grandpa!

Emma gets fun "fancy" boots

And a ROCKET!!

Unfortunately, it was raining outside

and so she had to stomp the rocket indoors.

Grandma made Emma a quilt for her new big, big-girl bed!!

And she shared it with Grandma during "Finding Nemo"

Now let's not forget Grandpa - he got fun gifts too!!
