Breakfast with Santa, December 15, 2007

This morning Stefanie had a special breakfast with Santa Claus. Our neighbors/friends the Tanners invited us to join them this morning. Stefanie loved the party and seemed to be a bit more interested in coloring than anything else. Stefie couldn't wait to eat her candy cane Santa gave her. We all had a great time.

DRUMS, DECEMBER 9, 2007

Stefie loves to play music and seems to be interested in playing the drums. Here she is at Best Buy and she couldn't wait to play.

DINNER WITH FRIENDS, DECEMBER 8, 2007

Tonight we had dinner with our friends Christopher Chu Lin and his girlfriend Ming, who came to Utah for a short weekend ski trip. Jon and I were so happy Christopher and Ming had a chance to meet Stefanie. We had a very nice dinner together and it’s always nice to see our friends who live in other states.

VISIT TO THE OPTHAMOLOGIST, DECEMBER 7, 2007

The month of December started with our first visit to the Ophthalmologist. Stefanie has been complaining something was in her right eye. Stefie did great and the exam turned out well except for the Doctor mentioning Stefie will probably need glasses some day. We are very happy everything is ok and Stefie does not have any problems.

The Doctor is sharing his secret toys with
Stefanie inside his desk drawer. She loved
all the small toys he had to play with.


"A hug please?" This is one of Stefie's favorite
words to us.

STEFIE'S PORTRAITS WITH SANTA, DEC. 1, 2007

FESTIVAL OF TREES, DECEMBER 1, 2007

Unfortunately, I did not get a good photo of the sign below. People kept passing by me and it was really crowded. The Festival of Trees is an annual event with the proceeds going to Primary Children's Hospital. This was an incredible event and the trees were beautiful. Thousands of people attended this weekend event and my photos don't even come close to showing how much time, effort and love was put into this event. Many trees are decorated in honor of someone who either passed. This is a beautiful event Theresa and I enjoyed very much. Jon was out of town and Stefanie fell asleep right as we arrived and woke up after we left so we don't have photos of Stefie.
