This year(2008) right after Thanksgiving, BYUFan left for Hawaii on a business trip, so the kids and I put the lights and ornaments on the tree all by ourselves.

Hair cut for Caroline
Brian has been bugging me to get Caroline’s hair cut for a while now, because her long hair kept getting in her face. So last week I took her with me and we both got our hair cut. Now we both have nice short hair that doesn’t get in our faces.

Garden Invasion
South Jordan is putting in streetlights in for the street behind our house so they had to dig a hole under the back fence to put wiring through.
