Birthdays and Baptisms!! What a great way to end the year!!

Our son Chad had his 43rd birthday on Dec. 29th and Bret had his 41st birthday on Dec. 30th. Wow! And....Holly's birthday is Dec. 22nd! 

Since we were in El Paso for Wembley's baptism, we all went out to eat at a really good Peruvian restaurant. They brought champagne, but he didn't drink it!   hehe

Wembley Crosby was baptized by her brother Kaemon on Dec. 31st, 2022. 

Cousins!

Holly and Mark fed all of us a great dinner later!

We stayed until Sunday to be there for Zallen and Bolden's priesthood ordinations. Oops-- the kids already got out of their Sunday clothes.

Bolden was ordained a Deacon and Zallen a Teacher.

Here's some FUN pictures of the weekend!

I thought it was great that so many of us could support and show our love for Wembley for her baptism. It was a great weekend!

 

Winding up the holiday season!

Bret and Suzy's family came to visit after Christmas. We enjoyed the snow and a few holiday traditions!

Christmas tree waffles

and Snowman pizza

 Then we all went up to the old ski run. The kids had a blast. We had traditional donuts and hot chocolate. 

I think Ivory had the most fun of all. She didn't want to leave!!

What a FUN time we all had together in the snow!!  It was Ellie's first time to actually see it 'snowing'!!
