The Holidays....

The Hoch Holiday Top ten....
(in no particular order.....)

The Energy Solutions sing a long and Temple Square.

Spending the Friday before Christmas (shopping with Robb) tying up loose ends.

The Cowan Christmas Party--Santa visited. It never fails when my kids get on Santa's lap, their lists change completely. Stage fright? Who knows!

Christmas Eve with the Hoch family. The best Nativity around. (Right down to Chase sporting his "Nightmare Before Christmas" sweatshirt with an animated skull on it for his sheperd attire.)

The Snow!

Grandma Cowan's continued tradition of homemade PJ's for 36 Grandkids.

A quick trip to Idaho to visit Robb's parents. It was so cold, my lotion and full water bottle was frozen solid when we got in our car the first morning of our visit.

Robb set up a GNO out for me (with a few sisters) to see Michael Buble in concert. I was very puzzled and concerned when there was only one ticket. When I found out all the work that went into planning the night, I was impressed. I can't wait for the concert; it's in March and I'm dreaming of wearing capris as part of my wardrobe.

Going with good friends to The Mormon Tabernacle Christmas concert with Natalie Cole as the guest performer and a little Market Street Grill before the show. Can't go wrong with that! (everyone needs to go to the Motab Christmas Concert at least once in their lives. It amazing.)

Christmas morning, Christmas morning, Christmas morning!

We had the perfect Christmas break this year. Our boys become more manageable each day and could hardly wait for Christmas. Their excitement (along with Gracie's) was magical. Our three oldest daughters were amazing this year with all of their help preparing for Christmas. From shoveling snow, to wrapping gifts, to babysitting and of course hanging out with their friends. They are the best teenage daughters a family could hope for. I'll post about New Years later....
