Atlanta Giving Machine 2022

Last year we went to the Giving Machines in New York. This year Atlanta got a Mobile Giving Machine for a few days. It was so fun to go there!

Looking to see what we want to donate.

We donated a few things as a family and the boys each individually donated some things. 

They had a cute area set up where people could listen to live music and get treats (if you had BYU stuff on). 

These are a few things we donated.

We had to take a picture with one of Atlantas fun murals. It was a fun night!

DECA Regional Competition

McKay was invited to participate in a DECA competition this year. He wasn't super sure how to do it (he will be more prepared next year.) It didn't go super well, but he learned good things and we were super proud him for trying something new!

 

Miss Beverly's Birthday

Beverly turned 84 this year so we had to celebrate with her!

We brought a cake and sang to her on the porch.

We brought Maggie to see Beverly and Bob. 

Beverly wasn't feeling very Christmasy, so we brought her a little tree decorating in paper snowflakes, cranberry garlands and lights. 

These are the best boys!

Bob loved maggie too.

Maggie was a little wild. 

Sharing some of Beverly's cake.

We love our adopted Georgia Grandma!

We feel so lucky to have her!

 

Talking to the McEwans

When I was in Israel, I met some super cool people. Maren McEwan is an attorney who worked for a big legal firm in Boston and Scott McEwan who worked for Tesla and still works for Apple. They were so nice to talk to our boys and them about their experiences with school and work. 

The boys were impressed and learned some really good things from these wonderful people. 

 

2022 Christmas Card

This was the front of our Christmas card this year. 

This was he back. It was sad not having Palmer here!

 

SEC Championship Game 2022

The Petersons invited us over to watch the SEC Championship game between Georgia and LSU. 

We were all ready in our gear to support our Dawgs!

There were lots of yummy snacks.

And some funny commercials.

The Dawgs won! It was a great night!

Hunter's Tree Farm

Hunter worked at Hunter's Christmas Tree Farm for the week after Thanksgiving. It's a perfect place with his name! The owners were in our old ward and get all of the youth to participate in the Christmas tree lot for the season. Hunter always has a fun time doing that! His job was tying trees to people's car roofs this year.
