Sequins and Sytrofoam

 Courtney had a cute idea

 To make some sequin Christmas ornaments.

 

 And she enlisted our help.

Oh and she also wanted to make a wreath

out of a hanger.

While Mark made a wreath 

 Mom, Courtney and I

 

 combined sequins and styrofoam.

 

We think they turned out pretty cute!

Its Coming on Christmas

 Thanksgiving was wonderful!

 Our little place cards worked out so well.

The food was great!

The company even better!

Oh and we cannot forget the pie! As you can tell

we never do! 

 Then to start out the Christmas season right

we attended the First Presidency Devotional.

 And got a quick glimpse of the beautiful lights on Temple Square.

What a great way to start the season! 

(We missed you Paige!)
