Just for Fun

For Christmas Brendan bought me some new photography stuff that I finally tried out.  I mainly like to use natural light, but there isn't much sunlight these days, so Brendan bought me some supplemental lights to use with natural light.  We started a little late and didn't have much natural light at all, so not much turned out, butI Hazel still looked cute!


Snow Fun

A few days after Christmas, we headed up the canyon with Brendan's family to stay at their cabin for a few days.  There wasn't very much snow the first day, but when we woke up the next morning it was a winter wonderland.  We had fun sledding and snowmobiling with Hazel.







New Callings

Brendan and I finished out our calling on the activities committee with our ward Christmas party.  We had a nice catered dinner with some entertainment, and Santa even showed up.  We did have a few problems with the food being late, and some stereo equipment breaking, but it turned out well in the end.

Brendan has been an Elder's Quorum teacher for a while, but he was just given a second calling as the 11 year old scout leader.  My new calling is gospel doctrine teacher.  Talk about stressful, especially when I have religion professors in my ward.  We have two gospel doctrine classes and some of the other teachers include a professor and temple sealer, a former stake president, and the Bishop's wife who is a lawyer and gives very good lessons.  Hopefully I can measure up.
