Temple Square & Ty's Farewell

Temple Square/
Ty Farewell

The Children's Museum




Where Bryan proposed to me. Exact day. Exact place. Eighteen years previously.

I was slightly embarrassed.

Teddy Bear Classic

Teddy Bear Classic

I love the expression Amber shows while she is performing. Her face is always in total concentration, but even more than that--she seems to glow with her excitement for the sport.



I love this expression!!! Total concentration!

Nativity

Nativity

A LDS Stake in our area puts on a live nativity every year around Christmas time. I love the spirit I have felt every year as I have attended with my children. I love these moments to stop and reflect on the things that matter most.

Ugly Sweater Party

 Ugly Sweater Party

The Miller Family Ugly Sweater Party was a hit! We loved sharing in conversations, food, and good company. My favorite part of the party was the service portion to the nursing home. The kids really pulled together to perform many talents for the elderly people. I felt the spirit as we walked and talked with them, and as we sang. I loved holding their hands, and I loved the pure joy they expressed as we visited with them. It's nice to stop and be kind once in a while. I think I was blessed more than I did the blessing.

Thanksgiving with The Elkington's

Happy Thanksgiving
2015

I have never done this kind of workout before--it was super fun, and I can't wait to try it again!

 While we worked-out, the boys (and a few kids) went fishing...



 Time to Eat...

We ate in Michelle's barn. She had placed coloring table cloths on each of the tables--it was perfect for ALL ages!

Ball of Tape for Kid's Exchange






 The adults exchanged gifts through a poker game.

After Thanksgiving, the entire family went to Mountain River Ranch for a sleigh-ride, dinner, and show.




My cousin was the lead fiddler in the show. he took the time to play a song with Amber afterwards. She was thrilled!
