Our White Elephant Gift...

We sure do love 'Yapper'...


HE (yes, I'm guessing here) came complete with his name, bowl, food, and even a pooper scooper. The kids think he's great, and Tessa was so excited that she told me, "I'm gonna teach him to do tricks!"
I hope he survives.
Thanks for a great party, Laurie... and whoever gave us Yapper!

Block Party Blast

We had the best time at our neighborhood Independence Day celebration! There was tons of food, friends and sunshine; the kids got to ride their decorated bikes around the neighborhood for a bike parade (which they thought was super fun!); there were some great music talents from our ward; and it all ended with a firework show put on by our very own pyromaniacs - the young men. It was exactly what a block party should be!



Have a wonderful Independence Day, everyone!
