Christmas festivities

Here is a little glimpse into our Christmas festivities this year...

Camden quite disliked snow on his first encounter with it this year. Well, we got about 3 feet in 1 week! But, after it warmed up, he found that he really likes to crunch it!

We went to temple square to see the lights. Camden's favorite things were the sheep and the grates in the sidewalk--which wiggled a little when he stepped on them. We chased him around, trying to keep him from running into people while he galloped and baa-ed like a sheep. We had a wonderful time!

Finally, a pair of gloves Camden will wear! They are sharks and have little fins that stick up on the top. Thanks, Aunt Natalie!

My Christmas tree skirt in progress--I really hope that the sides will connect when it is all finished.

Camden's Christmas ornament for this year

So cute! (About 20 seconds long) Sorry it's a little dark

We hope you have a Merry Christmas this year!

PS. We find out in 5 days whether we get a boy or a girl! Can't wait!

Brigham City Temple!

They finally made a decision! After months of work, breakouts, re-pricing, and revising we have finally been awarded the woodwork package for the Brigham City Temple. I've been working on it since a couple of months after the announcement between giving budget numbers to the contractor and producing our final bid. We actually heard from our competitors that we were the mill worker for the temple last week. Usually word on the street is pretty accurate, but we can't officially celebrate and hand off the job to a project team until we have a definite award from the general contractor. We were invited to a meeting at the architect's office this morning to discuss scope and schedule, and they awarded us the job during that meeting.

For those of you who don't know, this is especially exciting because I grew up in Brigham City. I've already told the project manager that one of the requirements for him to be assigned to the project (all of our project managers were fighting over it) is that he has to take me with him to do field measurements and help with other site coordination. I'm excited to see the work go through our shop.

November goal...

I'm here to report on the goal that I'm most excited about this month...Camden's Christmas stocking! I started it in January, and hoped to finish it by Christmas. I'm so excited to have it done just before Thanksgiving!


Hmmm....I wonder if I can get the new baby's stocking finished by next Christmas. :)

PS Keep reading...there's a new post below this one about Camden's 18 month update.
