Murder Mystery Date Night!

We were finally able to put to use our Christmas present from about five years ago! We attended "How to Host a Murder" game night with Salmon sisters and their dates. Everyone did a great job of getting into character, and Brad did an exceptionally good job of staying in character throughout the night. It was a blast, and it was so nice that my parents were willing to host it and provide the delicious food and atmosphere for the night. It was kind of fun to note that it was the sixth year anniversary of Brad and my engagement that same night, and we were in my Dad's office, which is where he actually proposed to me. Although my character had plotted to aid in the murder that had occured, Brad's character ended up surprising us all as the actual killer. It was good times for all involved!

Christmas was a Whirlwind!

Christmas has come and gone, and life can finally get back to normal again! It was so fun participating in the annual Cookie Day at Grandma Salmon's house. Tyson enjoyed licking off the frosting more than decorating, but he definitely had a good time. We also found ourselves busy with Christmas dinners, family Christmas programs, and all the rest of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Tyson was especially thrilled this year to be the shepherd in the Nativity scene. How ironic that in the same costume last year he screamed as we put him in it, and this year he screamed when we had to take it off! We are happy to have the Hulme cousins close by again, and Tyson definitely loves to get rough and tumble with his cousins. Taryn and Syrell just headed back to BYU this past weekend, and we are all looking forward to the wedding that is soon to come for Russell and Taryn at the end of the semester. Elise is starting to sit up all by herself now, and likes to look around while she does it to make sure everyone is noting it. She has such an adorable laugh right now and is often entertained by her brother Tyson (as long as he leaves her some bubble space!)
