Monday Fun-day

We've unofficially decided to do a lesson on Sundays and Monday Fun-day for Family Night. This was actually way back on Labor Day Monday.

2-hour zipline tour up the canyon. Getty and Mia couldn't go, so we brought the neighbor boys with us.

 The ORB!! haha (Elle's in the orb)

MK doing the Spiderman

Cy's version of Spidey

Sunday Fun-day: Spike Ball with Paul after dinner

... and the underdogs won

Which called for a spontaneous backflip...

Those kids....

Getaway

Stopped in St. George to see Clint and Cassie on the night they rented out a theatre for a special pre-showing of the new Star Wars movie :) 

Vegas Bowl BYU vs. U of U

Worst 1st quarter in the history of 1st quarters = BYU

FIVE turnovers in BYU's first FIVE possessions. TWO fumbles, a 33-yard interception return to the 1 yard line (then touchdown), and TWO pick-sixes all in the first 10 minutes of the game... it was amazingly, unbelievably ugly.

U of U 35 - BYU 0

(as you can see, Rob was kinda happy)

BYU with points on the board!

For most of the last three quarters BYU outplayed the U. 

BYU scores 28 unanswered points!

Final Score: U of U 35 - BYU 28

BYU left relieved that it wasn't a blow out. 

U of U left relieved that the clock ran out.

Meanwhile, back at the homestead... no major catastrophes

 ... and MK took the kids to a Jazz game with Besser. 
(Looks like they had awesome seats)

Apparently M&M are wealthy enough to vacation in Hawaii?...

Crashing with (girl)friends helps!

Power tumbling in the sand...

...doesn't go so well :)

Christmas Dinner at Granny's, 2015

Snuggly blankets for the grandkids

More Baby Jesus doll craft 

supplies for the Briner-side kids

Matchers with Avery :)

Izzie

Maisie

Emma

Piper

Briner-side "Favorite Things" gift exchange

Megan chose Patrick's Target card (no one guessed that one right)

Scott chose Craig's Nike card (no mystery there!)

Patrick chose my Blender bottle concoction

Rob went for Granny's mint truffles

Granny chose Britt's JCrew cash

Britt got Jen's favorite minky scarf 
(re-routed to Colorado by mistake)

Jen chose Rob's remote speaker

And Doug chose his own favorite Uni-ball pens (we all got that one right)

I got first pick and chose Scott's Favorite Thing, the soft blanket—that doubles as a hand muffler :)

Craig was the worst guesser of all and ended up with Megan's "Favorite Thing" (My favorite, too! ...but we all guessed Granny)

Merry Christmas to all, 

and to all a good night!!
