<span style="font-family: inherit;">Laura had a true lead role in SCERA's Christmas show "The Happy Elf". It was so fun to see her onstage so much. She absolutely shone and it was my favorite role of hers to date. The play was fun and happy and Harry Connick's music was super enjoyable! I could've gone every night. Thank you to so many who came out and supported her. </span><br />

Laura did many many performances with One Voice Children's Choir over the Christmas season. But, one of the big highlights was that <a href="https://one-voice-childrens-choir-cds-and-merchandise.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/one-voice-childrens-choir-cd-2016-we-are-one">they released a CD</a> and Laura got to be the soloist in "Carol of the Bells". She also sang a solo on TV. But, as usual, her favorite performances were at the rest homes. <br />

<b>Christmas Morning</b><br />
Santa came on Christmas morning and brought Laura headphones, Eliza an MC2 kit, and Rosie lots of socks. The parents brought something to wear, something to read, something they wanted, and something they needed. But, mostly, Christmas was saved for the vacation we had planned the next day. Jason's mom also came over for breakfast and we gave her her stocking. <br />

<b>Hayden and Sarah's Wedding</b><br />
We ran down to St. George for Hayden and Sarah's wedding! It was beautiful and happy and we were so grateful to be part of their special day. We share a love of Disney with them - especially Nightmare Before Christmas - and adored their themed wedding and the cake topper we got them for their gift. <br />

While down in St George we had to stop by Zion National Park. Though we'd been there before, we hadn't done Jr Ranger there. So, we got our badges and a highlight was getting to go on a Ranger Led Hike.<br />

<b>Bryce Canyon</b><br />
We also ran down to Bryce Canyon for a quick trip. It was cold, but oh so beautiful! We loved the shuttle system there. The hikes were great for our imagination. The long bus tour was our favorite. The girls got another Junior Ranger badge to add to their collection here. And, we want to come back when there's snow.<br />

<b>Disneyland</b><br />
We also took a trip to Disneyland over Fall break. This is when Laura made use of her birthday experiences. She chose to do Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique with her sisters. It was totally magical and a precious memory! We also went to dinner at Blue Bayou which was beyond cool! And, let's be honest, Disney at Halloween time is our favorite and we relished every moment together!<br />

<b>Halloween</b><br />
This year for Halloween, Laura got a bit cooler and so went avant garde and made her own steampunk Jack Skellington. Rosie was a steampunk girl and Eliza was a flapper. Laura took them trick or treating that night and I and my folks saw the little girls in their Halloween parade at school. One of the most fun parts was trick or treating at Daddy's work - DOMO. <br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;">Laura keeps super busy in two choirs - the advanced choir at school AF Singers, and One Voice Children's Choir where her favorite thing is to record. She is currently in three plays all while keeping up with her advanced classes and maintaining perfect As. She's becoming very stylish and loves her clothes and cool shoes as well as painted fingernails. Laura is magnificent with her sisters and is such a good friend to them as well as a spectacular example. She has friends of all ages and makes them wherever she goes. How we all love this girl!!</span>Melindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14664654000236153971noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28748068.post-6713760023491756912016-09-12T19:19:00.000-06:002016-12-14T15:54:09.355-07:00RV AdventuresDid we mention that we bought an RV? Well, we did! We had been wanting the freedom of one of these for quite some time and finally found the Unicorn RV we were looking for - so, we named her Eunice. For our first adventure we went to Mesa Verde, Goosenecks, and Natural Bridges.<br />

We loved staying in the campground at Mesa Verde, meeting the locals (deer) and catching the most interesting Ranger Talk ever that night. It was fascinating and Rosie was able to apply her knowledge about Ancestral Puebloans the next week at school.<br />

We took some tours into the cliff dwellings, ascended scary ladders, and looked at lots and lots of kivas. Jason became a master at driving Eunice and I experienced driving her in a torrential downpour. The girls earned 3 Junior Ranger badges here: Mesa Verde, the 50th anniversary for Historic Parks, as well as turned in their packets for the Centennial badge.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLpvHyjHMTtcHNRcsLRv19M3Ytndi0R9IbSfODdQ1nxMq7PUqMV396VdMh57pSPycVc-Uz2GwaEylSXzQYB-WoJ6qxTgPH7sXNfBG0k49pD3MJrV9N3w7q24Gyw2h6BLGL0rgx/s1600/013.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLpvHyjHMTtcHNRcsLRv19M3Ytndi0R9IbSfODdQ1nxMq7PUqMV396VdMh57pSPycVc-Uz2GwaEylSXzQYB-WoJ6qxTgPH7sXNfBG0k49pD3MJrV9N3w7q24Gyw2h6BLGL0rgx/s320/013.JPG" width="213" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPbFcz-4iss_o88jW4-CYL6242gUUTPc1_qbKNzr-JqAZtL147qJf5DxDdxpZNcJ29ErtHfWeAi9CVns3RDkLpDycY2vIhg2QI-Ygcu4BuRWFx7qzHuxb6WNLbzMXXoOv-SrzL/s1600/066+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPbFcz-4iss_o88jW4-CYL6242gUUTPc1_qbKNzr-JqAZtL147qJf5DxDdxpZNcJ29ErtHfWeAi9CVns3RDkLpDycY2vIhg2QI-Ygcu4BuRWFx7qzHuxb6WNLbzMXXoOv-SrzL/s320/066+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" width="213" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5JWV_ZlzYAdZjxPhiLjv9H_Ds7ZaEiUlhs_h4jKR-HCG1DbtNakBmWBqbfT2_8lxPy_iFAmwNbqZ4FhONdHFXSOGGa3o9j83zlBhafIq458dANahj7ObY80c1xl8awrmzHKRt/s1600/107+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5JWV_ZlzYAdZjxPhiLjv9H_Ds7ZaEiUlhs_h4jKR-HCG1DbtNakBmWBqbfT2_8lxPy_iFAmwNbqZ4FhONdHFXSOGGa3o9j83zlBhafIq458dANahj7ObY80c1xl8awrmzHKRt/s320/107+%2528Medium%2529.JPG" width="213" /></a><br />
Mesa Verde went a lot more quickly than we anticipated, so we left our campsite reservation and moved on to stay the night in Bluff. Ahh, the freedom of an RV! Then it was onto Goosenecks State Park. It was a brief stay, but utterly marvelous. It was so fun to see the curves of the river far below and look out at Monument Valley.<br />

After Goosenecks, we went to Natural Bridges National Monument. We wished we had more time there. There were some fun hikes with more ladders. It was empty and we felt like we had the majesty of the Natural Bridges all to ourselves. <br />

Then there was also AFYT. We were heavily involved this year. Laura was Young Fiona and an Elf in Shrek, Eliza was in the preshow, and I was in charge of the costumes with Stacy. The girls were adorable, the costumes were difficult but rewarding. It was a great play and lots of fun for the family!<br />

And, Laura had lots to do with One Voice Children's choir. She sang all over with some highlights being at the Mall on Black Friday, onstage with Kevin Olusula from Pentatonix at the Capitol Theater, and on TV on the 23rd. An amazing story with Kevin <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Laura (my 12 yr old) sang with One Voice Children's Choir at the Interfaith Christmas Concerts. After rehearsing her solo with the choir in the green room, she stepped out in the hallway. Kevin (yes, the incredibly talented and very successful member of Pentatonix) stopped her to compliment her on her singing. But, his kindness and wonderful influence continued as he gave her his time and cha</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px;">tted with her for 5 minutes about her music. At the final show he turned around onstage and remembered her again. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px;">These few moments not only solidified her love for music, but also her quest to be a good person. I was already a huge fan of Kevin's music, but now I am even a bigger fan of him as a human being. Thank you for teaching her that being talented is important, but it's even more important to be a kind and uplifting person!</span><br />

We had a huge girl sleepover out our house every night and the girls adored having all their cousins over to chat and laugh until all hours.<br />
<br />
Jason and I went to a dinner for just the adults on the first night. It was wonderful! I have really smart and funny siblings, who all married equally smart and funny people, and am blessed to call them all friends!<br />

We spent one great day down at 9 Mile Canyon all together. It's so beautiful and fascinating! It was hot, but neat to show off our unique state to the family from out of town. We had car troubles (a lemon of a battery) but survived them and had a great time despite the troubles.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfwSPGZ7PQFAGpYT21K6zRIbfhTwazEfFsuUAfONkeIh8WWVcxsyh5WeA0htn0845RReR2Lz2S3L_A9qF5cxRbrF2G-akg7CattVG_0QXDux-CQPyuUuOr4WXiRF_cHvz_wr6/s1600/FamilyHuntEdit.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfwSPGZ7PQFAGpYT21K6zRIbfhTwazEfFsuUAfONkeIh8WWVcxsyh5WeA0htn0845RReR2Lz2S3L_A9qF5cxRbrF2G-akg7CattVG_0QXDux-CQPyuUuOr4WXiRF_cHvz_wr6/s320/FamilyHuntEdit.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1of9sgnyobRoBDgk402ySN42ZYKock0rbdVcvo2_acTKX7VO0LhWWU7tDXN6pxECwahFZdBVjoDYAS4BN8tY7nS0YXNa9wwLtU-pZmkLHEmp9Mjh1t1xlttaDQt78csL3fKbO/s1600/442.JPG" imageanchor="1"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRq9fxkTw7pedE67HBV7vQaa92zS9gd4-TOaqYTjnEDocNUBmrnbax36ghMTUJ805gFg33Sp9wk0y8C5syf2DI4fOgOPqRAB0qtSYgrlAVy71pj94j-NWA6zhR1tMC3FfTnfzk/s1600/520.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRq9fxkTw7pedE67HBV7vQaa92zS9gd4-TOaqYTjnEDocNUBmrnbax36ghMTUJ805gFg33Sp9wk0y8C5syf2DI4fOgOPqRAB0qtSYgrlAVy71pj94j-NWA6zhR1tMC3FfTnfzk/s320/520.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
They combined the grandkids annual treasure hunt as part of the celebration up at the cabin. Jason and I were in charge of this and we went with a Star Wars theme. It was a huge amount of work, but it was really well received and we still see the kids wearing their shirts.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjEMejVIEZMYmrN0q1t1kO2gqfIZDRbwRcpu5nDQGkVM5sS8SRgDmnqtq7Ph3Xok_AOPjIAqJoyqsBo8bNcVSS6ikqz2m3mxHj-AEH-jTOJkjJED2IrohCO4itaDjyaHS5CPDd/s1600/542.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjEMejVIEZMYmrN0q1t1kO2gqfIZDRbwRcpu5nDQGkVM5sS8SRgDmnqtq7Ph3Xok_AOPjIAqJoyqsBo8bNcVSS6ikqz2m3mxHj-AEH-jTOJkjJED2IrohCO4itaDjyaHS5CPDd/s320/542.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQlTATqYeC8I0XRQOYjY44RTj13E2WC5Gz8ARukGgASty3fl_wquxar9yvbA-P9P7ZOJgCgr4DNSGxTjP2Iin7GH6iRglr1LARwvBlN42jnLlC6NsiiujjoX8RlPDgluYGz4ep/s1600/Star+Wars+TH+Invitation+Yellow.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQlTATqYeC8I0XRQOYjY44RTj13E2WC5Gz8ARukGgASty3fl_wquxar9yvbA-P9P7ZOJgCgr4DNSGxTjP2Iin7GH6iRglr1LARwvBlN42jnLlC6NsiiujjoX8RlPDgluYGz4ep/s320/Star+Wars+TH+Invitation+Yellow.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Jason and I had a great time coming up with themed clues and prizes with some of our favorites being Edible Ewoks (Gummy Bears), Princess Leia Buns (Honey Buns), Star Wars Pez, Hans Rolos, and many versions of Lightsabers (bubble wands and real telescoping ones).<br />

The weekend ended with everyone going to dinner at Old Spaghetti Factory. It was wonderful to catch up with the whole family, renew our bonds as cousins and siblings, and celebrate Dad. We were exhausted, but I'd do it all again tomorrow if I could.<br />
