These pictures are all backward. They go from latest to earliest in the day but I am too tired to fix that right now.

Abe decorated our door!
In the evening Abe took Basil and the kids to play with the Covingtons’ dogs. We think Zucko, this white french bulldog, is such a handsome dog. He has the greatest personality, too.
Abe helped Clarissa place the star.
We spent the evening decorating the tree we picked out in the afternoon. We had so much fun picking this tree. It was a tree we all loved! In the past we have been letting the kids pick out bushy trees that they love. (They think the trees I like are ugly.) Abe made everyone laugh by telling the kids to pick out the “sickest, scraggiest tree” for Mom because I like skinny trees with lots of space for ornaments. But we chose this beautiful one as a good compromise.
In the morning we all went on a hike in Big Springs. We ran into one of Abe’s college friends en route! She is now a French professor at BYU.
So many dog friends on this trail.
