First Snow!

 It snowed all day Friday and all night and this is what we woke up to on Saturday!!!

 

 

Matthew and his friend Amy decided to bury Brittney

 

 

 

Snow angels are always a must :)

 

Timpview Football!!!

 

The Timpview football team played East High in the Semi Finals at the Rice-Eccles Stadium and dominated :)

 

 

 

Brittney and Ali watched:)

 

Lindsey and her friends cheered at the game. It was cold and wet but they had a great time!

 

 

Trash Maze

So one of Danica's friends works at the BYU recycling place. Every year at Halloween time they build a maze with all the bailed recycled stuff. This is the first time we have heard about it so we decided to go. It was a lot of fun.

Super Heros in training

Wow grandpa is 75! those of you who know my grandpa well, know that he has always wanted to be superman. The time has finally come. He had to wait 75 years but if was totally worth it.

Lisa should be credited for all of the super cute decorations.

As well as the yummy food :)

Circus!

Nana and Papa heard that the Circus was coming to town and took all the children and grandchildren to the circus. We had a great time. We all agree that Halle needs to be one of the ladies that is held up by her pony-tail.



Lindsey and Halle watching the circus. It wouldn't be a show without grandpa behind us with his camera :)

A new start :)

Ok so my mom used to do the family blog but she hasn't posted for about 2 years so I figured I should keep it going. So, from now on Lindsey is the Official blogger for Conger Mania :) Hopefully there will be more recent posts to come.

Christmas Eve…

Christmas eve bowling - an Abbott family tradition!

Bowling on Christmas eve has been a tradition in the Abbott family for a long time. It was one of Ali's brother Steve's favorite things to do, and one of a few things he continued to do very well at after his brain injury.  The legacy lives on and the kids have all gotten better, and usually beat the adults.

Just chillin' between turns.

The adults!

Grandpa!

Girl cousins!

The boys!

After bowling, we went to  Nana and Grandpa’s house for more Christmas traditions. We started with dinner, prepared completely by Nana and Grandpa.  We usually go over to their house the night before to set the tables for elegance.  They prepared a delicious prime rib dinner that we absolutely LOVE.

Justin, Jacob, Caoline, David, Brittney, Lindsey, Katie and Matthew

After dinner, Santa came for an early visit with gifts for all.  

All of the girls got these cute headbands!

The boys got an array of goods.  Matthew thought he and David were the luckiest with the marshmallow guns.

After Santa’s visit, of course we couldn’t leave out the great Nativity.  I would have to say with the kids growing up, the time preparation is going down and the quality is going up 

We have been rotating through to give everyone a chance to play the leading roles.  This year, we realized everyone had had a turn, so we elected our two oldest cousins there that night to be Mary and Joseph. What great sports we have.

 

Justin and Jacob were the shepherds.  Lindsey was the angel.  Caroline, David and Brittney were the wise men.  Katie was the accompanist and Matthew was the donkey (he was not in this picture I copied from Kirstin and my pictures didn’t turn out, but the memory is there.

Merry Christmas everyone!
