Merry Christmas and Happy Anniversary





Here we are at Alta celebrating our one-year anniversary. 
We went skiing while it was snowing and wind blowing 
and Ben didn't even fall down once!


































After we came home and got all foo-fooed up we 
went to Rodizio's Grill for dinner and had some 
excellent Brazilian grilled meats and salads.

Ben gave Renee some flowers afterwards
with a card.




















We had a great nativity scene on Christmas Eve at the Harston
home. Here are the members of the cast.














We enjoyed going to Temple Square and the
Joseph Smith Memorial Building to get in the 
Christmas spirit.




























Here's a picture of Ben's gift to his
nephews: a drawing of a medieval
castle.
































Renee made some stockings and a tree
skirt for her sister's family for Christmas.

































We also enjoyed making a few snowmen 
with the Harston grandchildren.




















Later on Christmas day at the Beuses...


We gave our gifts to the Beesleys, Ben's sister's
family.















We visited one of the newest arrivals in the
family, Charlotte Evans, Ben's niece.















We also got to play with Samuel Beus, one
of the younger grandkids.














We tried to figure out where
to put his new diaper after changing
him, but didn't have much luck.

Thanksgiving at the Beuses

The girls put a puzzle together which took less time than the Risk game.
















Laura is here with her one day old baby Charlotte.
















The kids put on a Thanksgiving play for us































Eli got into the Chocolate pie....





















The food was delicious!
















Baby Sam cooked the stuffing for us!
















Ben thought of a novel way to open up cans and thankfully didn't hurt himself!
