Nutcracker Tradition

Saturday was our "Nutcracker Tradition Day". For many years when my girls were growing up we would go out to lunch and then attend the Nutcracker Ballet. This became an event that we all looked forward to each Christmas season. Now, my daughters and their daughters love to follow the same tradition. We enjoyed a lunch at Sizzler and then we all attended the ballet together. Hailey had not yet arrived from Phoenix so she was not able to attend and we missed her!

Special times with Pam and Roger

Last Thursday evening we met Pam and Roger for dinner. They had come north to visit family and friends. We met at the newly opened Texas Roadhouse in Orem. The restaurant was beyond busy and incredibly noisy but the food was delicious and we enjoyed our dinner. After dinner we had an opportunity to visit in a quiet location and catch up on each other's lives

On Friday morning we went to the BYU Museum of Art exhibit of Carl Heinrich Bloch: The Master's Hand. It truly was incredible with 5 large altar paintings - plus 27 other works by Bloch. We rented Ipads that had wonderful information about the artist and paintings and we learned so much! Bloch was truly inspired in his work and we loved the exhibit! We then enjoyed a delicious lunch in the MOA Cafe. It was a wonderful time to be together!
