It's Great to Be 8! John Got Baptized!

-

John made the decision to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and make important covenants with our Savior to follow Him, take His name upon him, and to serve his fellow men.  I am so proud of John and the choice he made. He's a special Spirit.  I know God is proud of John too.  When I was John's Primary teacher and he was just 5 years old we were learning a beautiful song called "I Will Follow Jesus."  After we finished singing it for one of our practiced, John leaned over to me and said with such enthusiasm and love, "I want to follow Jesus!"  On this day John showed the world that he has and will continue to follow Jesus.  I love this kid.  Congratulations John!

Dustin and I took Loyd, Xavier, and Maeve to see one of their favorite bands, AJR, in concert in Salt Lake.  We went to see the AJR: Somewhere in the Sky concert!  It was so GREAT!  We had a fun listening to all the opening bands and hanging out people watching. Maeve ditched us to sit with her friend as soon as she found out she was there too.  Maeve screamed and cheered so much she was horse for the next day.  :D It was a lot of fun.  We definitely would do it again. :D

It's Christmas Time

It's the Christmas season and we did a few things to celebrate the Christmas cheer this year.  Diana and I and her friend Everett and his fun mom got a personal tour of the Ogden Christmas Village by none other than Mrs Clause herself!  We even got a train ride too!  I think it was the highlight of the season for Diana.  Then we took the entire family to Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point to enjoy the spectacular lights throughout the gardens.  As always, it was awe-inspiring!  We attended the annual Phillips Family Christmas Party.  Santa made an appearance and handed out gifts to all of the kids.  Diana was terrified of him and quickly hid behind my chair when the jolly old elf came into the room.  But, she quickly found her inner bravery and ran up to his lap when he produced a prettily wrapped present and called Diana's name.  She was not going to miss out on her very own gift.  It was so funny and so cute! Wishing a Merry Christma...
