Thanksgiving was a feast in many ways.

We were lucky to have everyone for Thanksgiving. The three grandchildren had a great time together. We went to the beach and had lots of fun around the house. We even got Andrew's first step on camera. We also decorated the Christmas tree together.

Halloween in AZ

Mary Beth and David went to Az to be with Talie and Peyton and to be with Talie for her first
door to door trick or treat.

Everybody's home for the Fourth

We were lucky to have everyone home for the Fourth of July, including Grandma Rane.

Trip to London and Italy

Laurie attended London study abroad during the winter term. Mary Beth and I went over at the end of the term and went to Italy with her. We went to Lake Como, Venice, Florence and Lerici. While in Florence we took a short drive into Chianti. Laurie's friend Casandra was with us for Lake Como and Venice. We had a wonderful time, saw many beautiful things and eat some great food.

David's trip to Mexico

The first week of April, I went to south central Mexico along the Guatemala board to see Mayan ruins.  I went with Scott Bennion, who was in my mission, and Scott's brother and sister in law, Larry and Sandi Juarez.
