Christmas Wrapped Up

Christmas this year was like none other. We started out by getting a new puppy on the 23rd. She's a Shiloh Shepherd (picture a German Shepherd but bigger and more mellow) and is pretty much a self-obsessed fur ball that needs to get her teeth into everything and has severe separation anxiety. Hopefully as we settle into our normal routine life with puppy, now named Zeta, will get better.

We all received wonderful gifts and have had fun playing new games of all sorts from cards to board games to wii games. Between Beaver Mtn and the wii, Gray has been snowboarding every day. What more could a kid want? I'll have to post snowboarding pictures later after I get them from Kory's brother-in-law. It was Naomi's first time snowboarding and she loved it. Guess I'll have to give boarding a good try again.




We had a party at Grandma Bronson's house. It's so great to get together with family especially at this time of year. I feel so blessed to have such a loving and fun family.


Here's a shot of the Pitcher family party, the group just keeps growing each year. Soon we'll need a shed like Grandma Bronson has.


It was hard to not see any of my immediate family this year. I think this is the first Christmas in my life where I haven't been able to see either my parents or one of my siblings. Although we had a wonderful Christmas here in Logan, there was definitely something missing.

Each year I am amazed at how quickly the holidays fly by but I am grateful for the time we take to remember our blessings, spend time with family and friends, give of ourselves to others and especially to center our thoughts on the birth and life of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas season.
