A few years ago I bought a Christmas book by Jason Tonioli, it's one of my favorites. I was excited to play a duet with him at Riverton music. He is such a great guy. I'll have to practice up to play with him again. His Duet was more difficult than I expected! I got another one of his books because Chelsea likes the Called To Serve song in it. So here is a picture of Jason Tonioli and me playing the duet:)
The most exciting news for us this year was our new piano. It is a Yamaha Clavinova CVP-405. It is an awesome piano! If I would have bought an acoustic it would have been a Young Chang, because they make great upright pianos. With our apartment, a grand piano was out of the question. In the end, what I wanted was something that I could record on as well.
I am so happy to have a piano! I've played it every day. We plan on teaching our kids on this piano. All the family has come over to sing with the Karaoke songs it has and play with the sounds. Chelsea's grandpa, Fred, offered to help us pay for this piano. Thanks Fred!! He is a great person. Chelsea's family has been so awesome. I have Chelsea and Two awesome families! It's been great spending time with our family. We are so blessed to be surrounded by great people!
We really like this picture of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. There were some flurries that night and allowed us to capture the lights shining on Moroni. We've printed several 11 x 14's for Chelsea's family this Christmas. We're glad they liked it!

The lights on Temple Square a so awesome! We love to see them each year. After walking around in the freezing cold though, we are glad to be home in our warm house!

Our tradition of spending Christmas Eve at the Reimschiissel's was a blast! Here is a picture of Chelsea and I holding the oranges we got from Santa Claus! :)
We had to get a picture in front of the tree too!
Sledding was the most fun we've ever had on Christmas Eve! We were able to use a sled made from the hood of a truck. It had a bar welded onto the front for a handle, and we threw in some padding to keep it a bit more comfortable.
I got the last ride of the night and I was flyin'
Jessie sat on the back of the four wheeler to get more traction in spinning me around. The funnest was sliding sideways, going in circles. YEAH BABY! Snow covered fields of fun! It was a great Christmas! I'm already excited for next year:)
