It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

We appreciate the kids going with us to pick out the perfect Christmas tree this year. It was the first one we looked at and it is a gem. We are really missing these cute kids. Enjoy their lovely faces.

RACHEL RECEIVES...

It was special morning at the L.A. Temple for Rachel, with Mom & Dad and Jeffrey and Great Grandpa Cornwall.

Click above for results of MHS quarterfinal game last night.

LET'S GO COUGARS

It seems ironic that I would be up earlier today than I was on Black Friday, but Christmas is always early for me and I can't wait for the game today. I don't know what the score will be but I am excited to see how BYU plays against a better team.

In my scouring for BYU info this morning I found a great video of the games over the last few years. I tried to post it here but half the video was cut off. So just go Here and you can just watch it from Youtube. Anyway Lets hope for a great game by the cougars.

GIVING THANKS WITH FAMILY

We arrived at (great) Grandpa C.s house 4 hours early to cook/baste the bird. Taking advantage of the lovely day we strolled the trails in the hills of Flintridge.

At the ridge we looked out at the shimmering Pacific and downtown L.A. skyline in the distance.

It was fun time for the BYU kids to be their California cousins.

Bennett Live!

Last Thanksgiving we were so thankful that we were 8 weeks pregnant with this precious little guy. This Thanksgiving we can't even describe how in love we are with him!!!! We feel so so blessed to have our little Bennett Boy!

I hope you enjoy his many laughs as much as we do!

KANSAS CRUISIN'

Mom & Dad had a wonderful time in Kansas last week with Jason & Stefanie, Paisley & Jarom. Included was a great Thanksgiving Dinner a week early.

TOGETHER FOR THANKSGIVING

I think (cousin) Tiffany's song shares a wonderful sentiment for the joy of being with loved ones. It will be fun to be together this Thanksgiving - in person or in heart.

Cute cute cute!

I LOVE these kids. Miss you Paisley and Jarom!

Anyone Recognize This?

Today at Joy School we made APPLE TURKEY'S. I remember the apple, toothpicks, marshmallows, and raisins very well, probably not my own but younger siblings. Does anyone else?As a side note. The scriptures tell us to pray in our closets, well Mr Daniel likes to take it to the next step and read scriptures in the closet (and in a box.)

Highlights

Missionary For A Day

For the first time in about 12-13 years Arcadia Stake Missionary For A Day was without a Cornwall. There was a great bunch who gathered for a fine breakfast, mini-MTC, companionship assignments, off to "the field". then back for dinner and testimony meeting.

CABIN FEVER

We had a few photos from our trip to Utah a couple of weeks ago we never got around to posting.... Soooo.... for your viewing pleasure:

Some fall Weber desktop backgrounds...

Mom & her BYU girls...

Four generation Cornwalls

And ... the star of the show... Master Bennett...

Busted!

Busted!

Jarom thinks the world is his canvas, but it isn't! He got busted today and had to scrub a couple walls. This kid LOVES to color just like Paisley, but he doesn't keep in on paper like paisley is now trained to do. I tried to find the picture of Paisley also scrubbing walls with a magic eraser, but I couldn't find it. Good news though, Jarom loves to scrub walls, so I see a very good cleaning buddy in my future!

Algumas Fotos

I know, I know we were all "there" but in case your picture was a little blurry . . . or if you just want to relish the moments once again - here are some photos of that blessed event.

Ta da - the inimitable power of the letter!

 I'm pretty sure that's Jeff doing a drumroll as I open the letter.

 Covering up the bottom of the letter. A tense moment - to say the least!

 And the word is OUT: BRAZIL!!!

 Oh JOY.

 More joy.

 And some time for some serious contemplation . . .

OH man, thanks everybody for being a part of this. It's still real, and still incredibly exciting!
