On Dec 21st, we were able to see the "Christmas star". Jupiter and Saturn aligned for the first time in 800 years. It was so exciting! I love that it's something that the entire world could see. We went to Utah Lake with my parents and Janelle. There were a couple of people out with their telescopes and we even met on of the landscape photographers that I follow on Facebook, Wesley Aston. Jer got out the telescope that we inherited from Seth and lined it up so we could get a good look. It was cool! You could even see the rings around Saturn. There are more detailed or artistic pictures of it, so I'll share, but I'll also share ours.

This was my favorite of my shots.
This is the only one that I got that if you zoom in on, you can see the stars lined up behind Jupiter in a line that make the points of light of the "Christmas Star". I do believe in signs and miracles. I'm hoping this is a sign of something good to come. We can just keep moving forward, teaching our families and rejoicing as we see each other progressing. Here's something to celebrate! My nephew, Joseph B. has filled out his paperwork for a mission. He'll be a great missionary. He's shy, but he is genuinely a good man with a good heart. I'm excited for him. When we asked if we could contribute to his mission, he had already worked and saved the money to pay for his whole mission.
Mom's doing alright after her back surgery. She's a little sore after my camping chair broke under her not long after this picture. Sorry momma!
Ada held all the snow that Vivien could pack into her arms. It was adorable.
Our kids kept tackling each other and rolling down the hill together. It was adorable.

There were people down walking out onto the ice on the lake. My kids wanted to go so bad. I didn't want to slip and fall when I'm this close to finishing physical therapy so I promised that we'd walk on the lake another time. I hope I remember. That would be neat.
