Travels and stops between OH and OK

We had the boys sealed to us in the OK Temple. It was a special experience. Here are Calvin and Silas with Opa.

I had the special opportunity to sing in a combined volunteer choir with my mom, sister, Rachel, and her husband, Alex, and my brother, Coulter. It was made up from central OK members of the LDS church and directed by the amazing Dr Craig Jessop, who flew out from UT to direct the choir. Dr Jessop was the director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir before the current Mack Wilberg. He was a joy to work with and I will always treasure the time we had to work with him. The concert was aired on tv three days in a row, including Christmas day. We hope to get a DVD of it soon. :)

In Stillwater, Tyler & I went on a double date with Rachel & Alex. We saw The Hobbit. Rachel and I went shopping at Old Navy and had a lunch date at Olive Garden. We played games and spend lots of time talking. It's amazing how the older I get, the more I enjoy just talking with my family.
Uncle Coulter wins the award for most time talking about airplanes with Keith.
Hairclip from Rachel on Tyler. Kind of crazy, right? I love Tyler's Charlie Brown shirt. He wears it every year.

We went up to Bartlesville and the kids had a blast with their cousins and Grammy and Pa-Pa.

Tyler happened upon this picture of the boys all snuggled up together. So sweet.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Love, The Pierce Family
