Leaves and "Christmas" with the Hong Kong Gibbons

We have so much scrub oak in the back yard that leaves are a constant at our house. Luckily, the kids love playing in them and even raking a few. Five points if you can "spy" all three kids

This year for Christmas with the Gibbons' we did a devotional via skype with grandpa and grandma and most of the Gibbons' kids. We learned about families in Asia who don't have enough money to go to the temple and some of the experiences grandpa and grandma have had as they have seen families be sealed in the Hong Kong temple, many from Mongolia where they served their last mission. As a family we decided to give money to the temple patron fund instead of giving each other gifts. It was actually an awesome experience, and the kids even thought it was great. After the devotional some of us went to temple square...this is Isaak posing for me!

Tyler was giving Savannah piggyback rides...SO CUTE!

Tanner was cold but relatively cheerful...

and the coolest pic, the cousins in front of the temple...oh I love these kind of pictures! This one is missing half the kids...I'll post a couple more
