We can..........

For Christmas the in-laws have requested a special kind of gift. Instead of getting them a "thing" they have asked that we "do" some"thing" for someone else-they like to receive a report on what the family was able to do for others. This was the 2nd year our family was able to help out at the United Food Bank. We spent a few hours sorting the food that is donated and preparing it for distribution. I hope we can make it an annual tradition....the kids really enjoy it.

We were gobbled!

Which means that this guy beat us all in the annual LeSueur family turkey-trot! I'm telling you-he didn't want caught!

HP 7!!

We are BIG Harry Potter fans-so it was a no-brainer to buy the pre-release tickets the orchestra was selling this year. We went to the 8pm show before the midnight release. We even got to go with Hermione (who won a best costume prize) and Viktor Krum...pretty cool huh??

We have some Excellent YW

For YW in Excellence last year the girls wanted to do a formal garden party. It turned out beautifully. The girls really enjoyed getting all dressed up. Here's Shay in her gown.

Shay and Dawn received their medallions in 2010 and are being presented their gift from the stake.

Merry Christmas friends!!!

To all our friends near or far....have a wonderful Christmas wherever you are!! Love the Wrights!!

My kids are DYNAMITE!

This really happened today!
ring, ring..
Dad: Hello
Dear daughter: Dad, can you bring me my chapstick
Dad: what's going on?
DD: my lips are hurting really bad

No joke! She's never even watched the movie! I laughed out loud in the car, by myself, when I got the low down on this conversation. Gotta love kids!!
