Gingerbread and a Luau

Bethany has been taking group voice lessons this fall.  She loves going every week and especially enjoys performing.  It makes it extra special that her voice teacher is her best friend's mom.  She also gets to walk to voice lessons after school with said best friend and another bestie.   Her group sang at the Gingerbread House festival on Saturday.  They sang "Can I Hold the Baby?", "Holly Jolly Christmas" and Bethany sang a solo, "Sleep of the Infant Jesus".

Saturday was also our ward Christmas party, a Luau.  Scott was on the "pig" committee.  We didn't realize what a big project this would be!  Scott spent a lot of time learning how to cook a pig in the ground from a polynesian member in our ward, Sonny.  Sonny has a bad back so he directed the action.  They buried the pig in a pit on hot rocks and insulated the whole thing with lots of foil, newspaper and quilts. It roasted all afternoon.  I was nervous about the whole idea but it turned out great!  I think the novelty was fun for most people even if a few didn't want to try the pork.


Weirdly good.

Preference Dance


Ryan went to preference on November 5th with Margaret Quinn, a girl from his soccer team.  He was really excited to go and had great time.


This is how Margaret asked Ryan.  He answered by giving her chocolate milk and donut holes with the caption "I would be happy to be the chocolate milk to your donut!"




Love the shoes!
