Temple Square. My favorite place in SLC.

The day after thanksgiving we went to Tiffany's for dinner and then to see the lights at temple square. It was a perfect night.

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We had it at our home for the first time- which was a little nerve racking but it turned out great. We flew Andy down from NC and then Mom and Dave drove down. It was a fun week. Carter loved having Pete home and when he went back to work he crawled around the house that morning saying Dadda? Dad? It was cute but kind of sad. We were sad Andy had to go back... and sad Katy and Jake weren't able to make it-they were in TX for a wedding. This time of year just reminds me of how thankful I am for Carter and Pete. They complete me in everyway. I am also very thankful for my brothers and sisters and for all six of my parents (Mom, Dad, Dave, Eleanor, Donna, & Larry.) Pete's family is exactly what I had hoped to have for in-laws. But most of all I am greatful for eternal families and for Heavenly Father making it possible through the Savior and Holy Ghost to return to live with them. What an amazing plan.

I love my mom.... she is a good mom.

As some of you may know my mom is the best mom.... tied with Pete's of course.... on the planet. I love her tons.

Madeline K. Burch AKA our Niece

Madeline is John and Keli's beautiful baby girl. She is destined to be a UNC fan by force of course. She is perfect and such a good baby.

Carter is ten months old and growing like a weed!

We can't believe how big Carter is getting. He is ten months old and is growing out of his twelve month old pants- in fact most of them are floods. He is wearing 18 month old pants and 12 month shirts. Crazy how big he is but he is so much fun I can't imagine how dull life would be without him. He is the happiest thing to happen to our family. He now says Dad, Mom, No, and Amanda. He calls her Mamba. It's cute.
