We had such a wonderful time in St. Louis, a big thank you to Ansley and TJ, for letting us stay at TJ's grandparents home. It was a blast. Dale and Shirlene Bunnell (TJ's grandparents) are serving a mission in the Philippines and TJ and Ansley are living in their home. We so appreciate it that we were able to all stay there for the Christmas Holiday. It is a warm, wonderful home....and we were all very comfortable. Thank you to Dale and Shirlene also......

With seven small children we mostly stayed home but ventured out a few times. Of course when we got there, shopping was the big adventure since baggage is such a big expense when you are flying...We did go out to dinner on Christmas Eve but never made it to the traditional Christmas Eve movie. After Ryan and his family made it to St. Louis, the Sunday morning after Christmas, (after driving all night) We visited the St. Louis Arch and Museum, on Monday and the Magic House on Tuesday...A big Thank You to Spencer and Nikki for helping out with the cost of food and everyone else for the meals they bought and prepared....

It all worked out so well, everyone worked together and got along and Carver never stood still, if all the pictures of him look like he is moving it is because he is always moving....He is a bundle of energy....
