Christmas Time Is Here

We have the best of friends. We as a family always getting a real tree for Christmas. Well this year we are not. We are having to move out of our home so that the builder that we bought our house from can fix our foundation. We had the foundation tested and there is 68% moisture in the soil and they are having to dig 18 inches down to fill it with gravel, and restructure it so that the floor will not sink anymore. We have the whole down stairs tiled with 18X18 tiles and they are unable to match it. So they are having to tear out all of the tile and relay it all back down. So this means they have to move all our furniture out and out we go. We are still in negotiations sense they did not have a plan for us to go some where. We got the testing done back August and it was to be done prior to Thanksgiving and now it will be Christmas. I just want it done and no more delays. So that is why we are pushing to get it done. In the mean time we do not have any plans, nor decorating for the holidays sense we are packing. So our dear friends Jake and Sayra Underhill and their two girls Tiffany & Kayla invited us to decorate their tree. The kids were so excited and enjoyed every ordainment they put on the tree.

Devon putting some on the higher areas. Tiffany and Damon showing us what they are going to hang on the tree.

Then the girls they sure and place them so nicely where they will look the best.

The final product you can never go wrong with decorating your Christmas Tree

After the decor ting was over we all went to Temple Square to see the lights. It was a colder night so we had to pull out all the coats and gloves, hats to stay warm. The lights were beautiful and the kids loved walking around.

Me & Sayra our great friends

We made hot coco and took it with us


We had coco and cookies and then drove back home. The best part is they love the story in the visitor center that moves from room to room that shares how important family is. We love our family and our friends.
