Today was a very pivotal day in the life of the Halliday family. We made the final decision that we are going to move. I still have to talk to my Director and hopefully he’ll be good with it. If so, we’ll put the house on the market in 2 weeks and look to move […]
Tonight we went with Carla’s and Scott’s family to the Lincoln park zoo to see animals and lights. The kids really had a fun time! It wasn’t near as cold as it was a couple of years ago when we went. The lights were really beautiful. We also saw ice carvers making their masterpieces which
Today was spent shopping and playing. The girls went shopping and left the little ones with Scott and me. We took them to the park by Still Middle School and they played outside until they couldn’t feel their faces. We then took them back home and had some hot chocolate and once they were thawed
Merry Christmas Everyone! Today we had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas! The kids were all so excited to have Christmas morning with their cousins! … and they couldn’t wait to get downstairs to see what Santa had brought them.

Tonight BYU played San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl! It was televised on ESPN, and Sarah was there! The game was AWESOME and BYU beat San Diego State 23 to 6! Go Cougars! There was a sign there that we thought was absolutely hilarious… it said “The Mayan world may end tomorrow, but the
It’s gingerbread house time! The boys and I decided to be festive a little early this year and we built a gingerbread house together! Today we had our Ward Christmas Party.

Tonight, Kirstyn had her Winter chorus concert and they really nailed it. They sounded so good and we were really impressed! Even the boys were quiet and listened! That’s a pretty big feat! Great job Kirstyn!
