Craft Night!

Friday night we had a girls craft night and made these cute Christmas advent calendars. We used mini-muffin tins and for each day in December up to Christmas-Eve you look behind the number and find a scripture and and activity to do on that day, and maybe even a little treat! It's still not completely finished. I still need to punch holes in the muffin tin and tie ribbon to it so I can hang it on the wall. After making this I'm really starting to get excited for Christmas time. I'm so excited for when we have our own kids to do activities like this with and start our own traditions.

Murder at the Juice Joint

Our friends Paul and Tonii hosted quite an amazing murder mystery party the weekend before Halloween. It was a 20's gangster/ mob theme and the scene was a Chicago local hot spot, the Juice Joint. Those attending were Hollywood film directors, actresses seeking the big screen, local law enforcement, mobsters, local political celebrities among others.



Here are the crafty party favours and prizes
You could win a prize if you guessed the murder correctly.
Or if you gained the most wealth (bribery, stealing and gambling are all encouraged)
Of if you were the most dramatic in your character.

And the whole group!

Thanks Johnsons! We had a blast. And thanks to everyone for getting so involved in their parts. It made all the difference.

Anderson Family Pictures

A few Sunday's ago after our family dinner at Tiff and Jeff's house we drove over to the park and took some family pictures while the leaves were just starting to get bright.

Turner/Anderson 2nd Annual Karlee's Birthday Hike

Every year since last year the Turners and the Andersons go hiking on October 10th to celebrate Karlee's birthday. This year was no different, except maybe a little more chilly! If you remember last years pictures, we were sweating in our shorts and t-shirts. This year, well not so much. We drove up American Fork Canyon for this hike, way past Tibble Fork Reservoir.



Here is the proud new papa of this cute (at the time) 6 week old. Babies first hike.



Like I said, it was a bit colder than last year. Yep, we ARE hiking in snow!



The views were amazing!



Cute new family!

After it was all said and done, some of us still had to relieve ourselves. Yes, Travis is still holding baby Beck in front of him.

Stay tuned for next October 10th to see where we go on our 3rd annual!
