Behold the Gift













Kendal & Chris are performing in this production at the Oakland Temple during the holidays. Kendal is a dancer and Chris is playing Jesus at 12 years of age. This production is a spectacular celebration of the life of Christ through dance. We are so proud of them! Chris has captured the importance of his role as Jesus and Kendal's expression through her dancing is moving.

Christmastime!

                                             Picture doesn't do it justice...I love my Tree!

Thanksgiving in O.C.

We had a great week in San Clemente spending time with family! I was able to steal away for a few hours to spend some much needed "girlfriend" time with Johnna Jackson and Kelly Lund! Wednesday consisted of a "surprise" baby shower for Jessica and her still "unnamed" baby girl. Thursday was filled chaotic fun, too much food, and of course Black Friday (Walmart, Target, and our annual Del Taco run)! Friday was our family photo shoot, shopping, and Jake Jackson's football game. Saturday was the entire Thompson Family photo session, Thompson Baseball Game, and a "surprise" birthday dinner party at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. We decided to avoid the traffic and drive home at midnight on Saturday to have a day to recuperate...Nice to come home to a decorated Christmas Tree and the beginning of the Christmas rush!!
