This is how much Brinley LOVES Justin Beiber...

She doesn't.

(This was on our way to Parowan. This is the reaction we get from Brinley everytime Justin Beiber is on the radio)

Ice Skating

We went ice skating (along with everyone else in Utah County). Everyone had a great time...except for Chase. He went around about 2 times (which took us a good 20 minutes) and he was DONE! So the rest of the time was spent entertaining him by taking pictures of ourselves.

Ty really got the hang of things and did great....especially when he got the little walker thing that helps you skate. He loved it.

Watching for the Zamboni?? (However that is spelled)

Christmas Eve/Day

Christmas Eve day we got together with my family to open cousin/brother/sister gifts at Todd and Melissa's house. The kids had a great time opening presents from their cousins that drew their names.

That night we went to our annual Christmas Eve Party at Grandma Haywards. We had yummy pulled pork sandwiches and did some singing. It was a great time. After that we came home and got all the kids nestled in bed.

Santa then came and dumped his whole bag in the front room.

We had a great Christmas this year and we're very spoiled by everyone!!

Goin' to the Court House and we're...

Gonna get married!!! Josh and Kym tied the knot on December 19, 2011. It was a quick wedding at the Lehi Court House.
The Bride

Kissing the Bride

The whole family--minus Scott

Afterwards we went to my parents house for a yummy dinner! They did a great job!

Whats a wedding without a cake?!

And a little cake in the face...

Congratulations Joshua and Kymberlie!!!

(And I cant leave out this cute picture of my adorable nephew. I just love him to pieces.)

Hendricksen Family Christmas Party

This year the party was at Emilys! She did a great job being a hostess. She decided it would be an ugly sweater contest and we were not disappointed. I tried my very best to find some "ugly" sweaters. There wasnt much to choose from at the local thrift store...I think a lot of people do this type of party now. Scotts dad won for the adult contest

Jentry won for the kids

And Chase won the money jar!! Every year Scotts parents bring a money jar (or two) for us to guess on! Chase won over 130 dollars!!! Go Chase!!

Everyone had a great time!!! I love that Scott has such a big family!

I belong

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
