Christmas 2011

Because of scheduling, we had our traditional BFAM brunch with all the friends the Saturday before Christmas this year. I sadly forgot my camera. It was the Frost's year to host and we had a lot of fun. We added Trevor & Alyssa Frost & Ethan Poulsen to the guest list this year. Everyone but the Minson's were able to attend. Also, we started a Christmas Present Exchange with the kids and they loved it.

The Sunday before Christmas, I was able to participate in my Stake's Christmas Program. It was absolutely gorgeous and an amazing experience. I am so grateful to be asked to be apart of it and that Bryan was supportive of me with the practices and being gone for the performance.
