We got to spend a beautiful sunny week in January in Maui this year. We were joined by our Colorado kids and grandkids who made my week when they decided they really wanted to hang out at the beach or the pool, with a little snorkeling.
One morning Zach and Austin took lessons on e-foil electric surfboards. They zipped around the bay but I did manage to get them both in frame just once.

We enjoyed a great Christmas season this year with lots of food and family time but not many pictures!
Our final family gathering of the weekend was for Sylvan's baptism and birthday. It was a busy weekend, but great family memories.
Once the trees were chopped and set up the family gathered again at our house to decorate gingerbread men for our tree.

Amazingly we have made it almost to Christmas Eve with a few cookies left on the tree!
We had a busy Thanksgiving weekend this year and got to enjoy lots of great family time. We started with a big dinner that everyone helped cook. We had to use my grandmother Brown's table to fit all of the kids this year and I believe I attended my first Thanksgiving dinner at that table almost 70 years ago.
First thing Friday morning we all met up to chop our Christmas Trees
We had some excellent woodmen chop our tree
